About this ebook
You have an NBDHE date. Hold it. Between now and then: 890 questions, every option explained. Two full-length practice exams of 350 items each. A 12-day plan that opens with a 40-question diagnostic. No login, no expiry.
We built this the way a clinic instructor runs board review, not the way a shelf gets filled. We started from the JCNDE's published structure: 350 items in one 7.5-hour day, in two components. Component A is 200 discipline-based items. Its weights are 58 percent provision of clinical services, 30 percent scientific basis, 12 percent community health and research. Component B is 150 case-based items across twelve to fifteen patients, and it introduces no new material. It hands you a history, a chart and radiographs, then asks for the same knowledge from inside the case. The exam tests the same knowledge twice, and that switch is where discipline-by-discipline revision comes apart. Check us against the JCNDE's published candidate guide. We would rather you did.
What's inside
A 40-question diagnostic before Day 1, so your weakest discipline gets the extra hours instead of the one you enjoy revising.
890 original questions, all four options explained on every one. Daily quizzes and two cumulative reviews that interleave earlier days, every option explained right and wrong.
Two full-length practice exams of 350 items, each built as 200 discipline-based items and 150 case-based ones, the real two-component shape.
The long clinical-services stretch: assessment and dental hygiene diagnosis, periodontology, instrumentation and debridement, radiography, prevention, materials and infection control, medically compromised patients.
Scientific basis and community health in full. Anatomy, physiology and histology, biochemistry and nutrition, microbiology and immunology, pathology, then epidemiology, biostatistics and program planning.
Original patient cases for Component B: adult, periodontal, paediatric, geriatric and medically compromised. Never a reproduced case, radiograph or photograph. Maybe you already bought a review book that was a pile of topics in no order. Give it three evenings. If the diagnostic tells you nothing about your weakest discipline, close it. One hour, spent once.
It fits three readers. A student sitting the NBDHE before graduation, clinic requirements still open. A hygienist educated outside the United States on a licensure pathway here. Someone on a retake who wants a weighted plan rather than another topic list. If you scale and root plane all day, start at Day 8.
Day 12 is biostatistics and program evaluation, and candidates skip it. You'll see it again in Component B, where the evidence question decides the item. Downloaded once, yours to keep.

About the author
Passmark builds one kind of book: the one that makes your study hours count. We start from a simple conviction — a certification exam is a skills test, not a memory test — so we never hand you a wall of facts to reread. Our method comes from the science of how memory actually holds: you learn by retrieving, not rereading; you revisit on a widening schedule so it sticks; every answer is explained, right and wrong, so you keep the reasoning; and a diagnostic points your hours where they will move your score. We read each exam's current blueprint ourselves, write every question from scratch, and check every number in the book — question counts, domain weights, practice tests — against the finished pages, not the marketing. When an exam changes, our books change with it.
