rmorelan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just do a quick search on this forum.

bookworm32 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 fyi - As mentioned above I did find a ton of references in history - many pretty consistent - did a search and found this posted last year January in thread U of T /Western interview advice: "I agree re lots of practice... I had both Crush and Dental Interview Plus recommended to me in terms of guiding the practice and making the most of the time you have. I plan on using both and have started already. Hope I'm not jinxing things before offers come out but I don't want to take the chance of having enough time to get the work done to feel confident."

You are basically trying to learn a new skill and unlearn other ones you already have. Often I find that degrades performance initially as instead of doing something naturally you are constantly rethinking things. You have to do it enough so it returns to being more automatic That takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileon Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I had a few private messages asking me to expand on my January post - thought it faster to just put it down here - personally I used both Crush and Dental Interview Plus as mentioned above. I started early, used the package to formulate my approach and content, and then used Crush to finesse my delivery. Worked for me, but we're all different. I found that I needed to feel like I had prepared a ton in order to feel confident. But then had to work even more to have the delivery then be natural and more concise. There are other companies too - you'd need to hunt on here in history to find more background on the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - I'm boning up on the prep I did last year and even then feel like I'm running out of time for uwo ... fingers crossed everyone.

Jcro+ Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I used a prep company once and I wasn't a fan tbh. I think it depends on how badly you are struggling, if need help badly then a prep company might not hurt. If you are confident you can make it without a prep company, then just practice with friends/family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDSER Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I used a prep company last year, got waitlisted and didnt get in, so its not a guarantee that you'll get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
