Being a student and how nervous, me and my flatmates were, we had this sick feeling to the core in our stomachs. So this one's dedicated for you guys. So you can smash your dental exams. And I've got today with me, Prateek Biyani, who is a total whiz and like computers and stuff. Me and him made an app together called food for teeth once one time and he did really all the hard work towards it. He's fantastic with computers and very intelligent guy. He's very well exams and that's why we thought we'd come together and share some of the tips. So this episode is jam packed with lots of different tips to help you you know from discussing example OSCE questions, how to set yourself up for a good OSCE tips for us to get through our finals, how I utilize technology, how Prateek utilize post it notes, so he was a very old school in some things and what to do when you don't know the answer. And an the importance of not worrying about small details, as well as body language. So we can discuss all these sorts of things. So you can smash your dental exams. Some of this will be relevant to any upcoming DFT interview as well. But really, this episode is specifically focused towards exams. I actually recorded this episode months and months ago, but I want to release it, you know, when the academic term started or after December so now obviously we're in October right now, so I hope you enjoy it there. The Protrusive Dental pearl is also therefore dedicated to students because I imagine none of my usual dentist listeners are listening to this episode just pretty much marketed, specifically for students. So dental students who haven't listen to my podcast before welcome, it's all about, it's a lot to do with occlusion, but it's a lot of general dental stuff to help people out and so I love doing. So this episode hopefully will help you in your journey. So the Protrusive Dental pearl for this episode once more is if you're a dental student, okay, and you want to do well and you want to mix the right people I strongly recommend look into attending, the Dentinal Tubules student Congress, if you know someone a year above you who went last year, just ask them. It is jam packed with great speakers. And it's really at the real pitch at the right level for students. And Dentinal Tubules has a great ethos, it's usually held a week before the main Dentinal Tubules congress. I think in 2020, it will be around about end of September mid September 2020. So watch out for that one. I'll post it on my Instagram and Facebook when the time is right. My Protrusive Dental pearl for today is to join and look out for the student Congress for Dentinal Tubules,
