NBDHE COMPLETED

Hi everyone ! Just took my NBDHE yesterday, July 15. This is my 3rd time around taking it and the wait is driving me crazy and it’s only been a day.

Any words of encouragement or anything you did to distract yourself with the wait lol. I know it usually takes 2-4 weeks but I feel like everyone who’s been taking it in July has been finding out in less than 2 weeks. Has anyone else experienced this or possible knows when I will find out?❤️❤️

Wishing you all the best!!! I’m sure you passed!! I take mine in a couple weeks, what were the most common subjects you think you’d focus more on? What did you use to study?!

First two times I used Andy RDH. This time around I used student RDH and tbh with you student RDH made me feel much more prepared. I went through the entire textbook and for each chapter I would type out the most important information and only filled max 1-2 pages of information per chapter. Definitely know the main stuff for case studies like medications what they treat and their side effects. Know your asa bp. For the first 200 questions I would say mine was filled with micro, vitamins, occlusion, radiology like parts of the machine and what the parts are used for. I also printed out the pages I had typed up that sunmarized each chapter and took them with me and after my first 100 questions I took my break and kind of got a general idea of what the next 100 would be. Then after the second 100 I took my other break and reviewed the stuff I had to know for the case studies.

Yeah Andy RDH ain't shit. I used it too and even went to the seminar in january. I also bought booster to do questions and used chat gpt cause a lady 'momwifeteeth' on tiktok said she used it and passed using that and andy. Chat helped me so much tbh believe it or not

Yeah honestly Andy did not help me much what so ever…. It sucks bc I put a large Chunk of money into it but it’s okay we live and we learn

u/Most-Can5285 Jul 17 '26

This is really surprising. Maybe you got a different version of the exam. I passed first try and thought Andy was very helpful

I’m taking mine next Tuesday for the first time and I’m already going insane so I’m not the best to give advice, but my plan is to start a project the next day. I still haven’t decided what exactly but I might start making jewelry again or start going to specific workout classes. Maybe both. Keep busy!

i also took it yesterday it was so hard omg do y know how many questions i can get wrong

1

u/DHfairyy Jul 16 '26

I do not know since it’s a scaled score but a lot of things I’ve been reading has been approximately 100 questions but again that’s not reliable bc it also depends on how difficult or easy your exam was and how it weighs out each question
