Other board reviews can be great. The difference is that StudentRDH is built as a complete, guided NBDHE review system — not just a book, app, question bank, or weekend review.

Here is what makes StudentRDH different:

Case studies make up a major part of the NBDHE, so you need to know how to approach them with confidence.

StudentRDH teaches case studies differently because we do not just give you cases and expect you to figure them out alone.

Here is how we teach them:

WakeUpMemory™ is StudentRDH’s memory technique system.

Claire, the founder of StudentRDH, is a memory champion, and she uses the same principles she used in memory competition to help students remember board information more easily.

WakeUpMemory™ helps you:

Yes. StudentRDH practice questions are designed with different levels of thinking because the NBDHE is not made of only simple recall questions.

The national board exam includes questions that test:

Your book is shipped within the next business day.

For example:

Start immediately with your dashboard.

The first thing to do is the pre-assessment.

Here is what we recommend:

The mock examination is designed to simulate the NBDHE as closely as possible.

It includes:

Yes. If 10 or more students from the same class want to join StudentRDH, we can arrange a special school/class discount.

Here is how it works:

You receive 6 months of access from the time you start.

But please do not feel pressured or rushed. Our goal is not to make you race through the program. Our goal is to help you pass.

If you need more time because of:

Please include:

First, let’s do everything we can to make sure that does not happen.

But life happens. Even strong students can have a difficult exam day, and we want to be flexible and supportive.

If you do not pass:

Yes. You can study from your computer and from the StudentRDH app.

With the app, you can:

Absolutely. Starting early is a great idea.

StudentRDH is not only helpful right before boards. It can also help you during school because you can use the summaries, videos, practice questions, and explanations while you are learning the material in class.

If you are not taking your exam until later:

VIP is the most complete StudentRDH review option.

The main difference is that VIP gives you the full guided experience, while On-Demand for those who want something shorter to study.

On-Demand includes:

Yes. We offer a free trial so you can preview the StudentRDH teaching style before choosing your review.

The free trial gives you a sample of:

Absolutely. VIP is designed so you can study at your own pace.

When you create your planner, be honest with your schedule:

In VIP, you receive guided case-study training plus additional case-study practice in the mock exam.

You get:

Case Studies are best after you have some basic knowledge.

Because case studies require you to combine information from many topics, we recommend attending them after you have already started studying with the book, videos, and practice questions.

Here is how to think about timing:

The Case Studies webinars are designed to teach you how to think through a case, not just answer questions.

Here is how they work:

You can find the schedule inside your StudentRDH dashboard.

Go to your dashboard and look for the Schedule section. From there, you can see upcoming live events such as:

Yes. The 99% success rate is based on self-reported student results.

We do not receive official pass/fail reports directly from the national boards. Students report their results to us, and students also reach out to us when they do not pass so we can support them.

The NBDHE is a demanding exam. In recent years, the national failure rate has been much higher than most students expect. StudentRDH’s reported success rate is significantly higher, and we believe that reflects the value of studying with a complete, guided system.

The message is simple:

No. VIP is designed to be your complete NBDHE review.

The NBDHE can pull from many different references, and the official resource list can feel extremely intimidating. There are textbooks, dental assisting references, periodontal references, and more. It is not realistic for most students to study every possible source on their own.

That is why StudentRDH exists.

We have done the work of organizing the high-yield information you need to pass.

With VIP, you receive:

Yes. StudentRDH is built for students who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or scared of failing.

We help with anxiety in several ways:

After you buy VIP, you can start immediately.

Here is what happens:

StudentRDH is more attractive than ever! We have packed all the benefits you need for studying. We are even less expensive than some other board reviews.

But if you do, you get a FREE extension until you pass (even if it takes years). Nobody else gives you this guarantee.

StudentRDH is designed to be used at home or wherever you are. We know it is difficult to find time and money to attend an in-person board review. It gives you maximum flexibility with the best content.

• Format: a combination of books, online videos, practice questions, and mock examinations that you can finish using your computer or phone. You are not limited by where you are or when you want to study. You have all the flexibility you need to perform at your best.
• Study at home versus in a room with hundreds of other students: it depends on your style.  You will succeed If you put in the effort and focus on passing the NBDHE. That said, if you prefer your privacy, a comfortable place to study, and the flexibility to move around when you are studying, StudentRDH is for you. With an in-person review, the noise and large crowd may bother you, and if you're feeling tired, you'll need more flexibility to stand up for coffee or go for a walk. You will lose precious time if you step out of the room. 
• Quality of content: if you know Claire and her team, you probably understand that they spent all their time and effort creating the best quality content. Recently, StudentRDH has spent 1000+ hours re-creating questions to match the new NBDHE guidelines. More case study-style questions were added, too! You will feel the difference in each question, especially the explanations. StudentRDH also added keywords to each question so you can learn how to find the hints.

StudentRDH LIVE SUMMIT is a series of 8 webinars delivered via Zoom.

The next dates are in January 2027. You will be given a 4-day schedule.

There will be four speakers, and we will cover subjects directly related to the NDBHE. Everything is recorded, so if you cannot attend the live summit or have to take a break, don't worry. You will be able to watch the recording any time after the session.

Generally, we recommend students to purchase the VIP package.

• You don't have to feel like you're missing out. You get everything you need to pass the NDBHE: a book + SUMMIT + Online review.
• It is at a 50% discount compared to getting all the different components separately.
• VIP exclusive content: for our VIP members, we offer webinars and updates that you cannot find anywhere else. For example, we have updated the NBDHE according to the new guidelines, exclusive to VIP members only. Also, there will be study sessions, such as case study workshops, that will only be available to VIP members.

If you want the best, we recommend the VIP Package.

It’s 6 months from the date of purchase and you can request a FREE extension. 

The live summit happens once a year. And we understand that you may need a different date. Therefore, if you join the live summit program or the VIP package, you will have access to previous recordings of the live summit. You can start studying immediately and join the live summit when it happens.

First of all, let's make sure that does not happen. But life happens, and even the best students sometimes fail the boards. So, we want to be as flexible as possible for you.

• You will have unlimited extensions until you pass. You are required to wait for a few months until you retake your NBDHE boards. Your StudentRDH membership may expire. But don't worry; we will provide you with the needed extension. Just let us know when the new exam date is.

WakeUpMemory™ techniques that Claire (Founder of StudentRDH) has created are mnemonics, imagery, etc. Claire is a memory champion, and she will guide you through the fascinating journey of remembering better and being prepared for your national board examinations.

100% of students who have used StudentRDH and our exclusive WakeUpMemory™ techniques feel more confident with their retention.

Other companies have tried to copy the special sauce we created at StudentRDH. Memory techniques seem easy but teaching them takes a lot of expertise. And we are proud to have taught methods of our origin that have worked for thousands of students.

I am glad that you asked! We spent 1000+ hours redeveloping our entire question bank to meet what you need to pass the NBDHE.

Level 1, 2, and 3 questions are as follows:

• Level 1: Knowledge
• Level 2: Application
• Level 3: Critical thinking/case study

The idea is that you start with the Level 1 questions, then Level 2, then Level 3, to gradually expose you to more challenging questions.

Let's take xylitol as an example.

• Level 1: What is xylitol? It is a sugar alcohol with zero calories and does not ferment.
• Level 2: How is xylitol helpful with caries management? Xylitol does not ferment like sugar. Therefore, it does not contribute to caries. Also, xylitol has a neutral pH, which helps raise the overall pH of the mouth if it is acidic. Lastly, xylitol promotes saliva, which decreases caries risk.
• Level 3: Why is xylitol recommended for patients with diabetes? Unlike sugar, our body cannot process xylitol. Therefore, it does not elevate the blood sugar level. If a patient has diabetes and a high caries risk, it is recommended that they use xylitol.

As you can see, this new system we have created will help you take one concept and tackle it from multiple angles. Your brain will work hard, and you will be ready for the NBDHE.

Lastly, this is also how the national board exam contributors write their questions. So, we are doing everything they do so you can best prepare for the NBDHE boards.

The Canadian national board examination is called the NDHCE or NDHCB. StudentRDH has a separate program at StudentRDH.ca.

On the Canadian program, you will find customized content applicable only to the Canadian examination.

There are quite a few differences:

• The format of the examination is different. Therefore, our mock exams also vary. The Canadian mock has 200 questions.
• The question styles are different. Consequently, we designed the practice questions to reflect the guidelines.
• Pharmacology is different. The drug names, classifications, etc.

There are many more subtle differences. Claire, the founder of StudentRDH, has passed her boards in the US and Canada and is very familiar with both exams.
