What is in the free ORE Part 1 revision tracker?

A topic tracker for all 30 Dentoscore revision topics: 13 for Paper A and 17 for Paper B. Each topic name links to five free practice questions.
A final 4-week plan, built around three full timed mocks.
An exam-week checklist and a mistakes log.

Part 1 is two papers, Paper A and Paper B. Each has 200 questions in 3 hours, and you must pass both in the same sitting (GDC: ORE Part 1). That is about 54 seconds a question, so every timed set in the plan runs at that pace: 50 questions in 45 minutes.

How do you use the ORE Part 1 topic tracker?

Before you start, rate each topic from 1 (weak) to 5 (strong).
After each mock, write your score for each topic.
Put your lowest topics on next week’s list. When a score climbs, cross it off and move to the next lowest.
At the end, rate each topic again and compare.

The tracker works at any stage of your revision, not only in the last month. The Paper A and Paper B split is our own way of organising revision. The GDC does not publish an official topic list for each paper, so revise both papers fully. See the Paper A and Paper B guides for what each topic covers.

How should you spend the last 4 weeks before ORE Part 1?

Week by week, you find your gaps, work on UK rules and weak topics, build speed with mixed practice, then consolidate, sitting a full timed mock at each of the first three weekends. The plan assumes about 2 hours on weekdays and 2 to 3 hours on each weekend day. A weekday session is 20 minutes on your mistakes log, 50 minutes on notes for one topic, 40 minutes of questions on it, and 10 minutes logging each wrong answer.

Week 1: find your gaps

At the weekend, sit a full timed mock: Paper A one day and Paper B the next. Mark it, fill in the tracker and circle your six lowest topics. On weekdays, work through those six topics, one or two a day.

Week 2: UK rules and weak topics

UK guidance differs most from training elsewhere, so give these topics a full session each: law and regulation; professionalism, ethics and communication; therapeutics and prescribing; medical emergencies; infection control; radiology and radiation protection; and prevention. Midweek, do one mixed timed set. At the weekend, sit your second full mock.

Week 3: speed and mixed practice

Every day, do one mixed timed set of 50 questions in 45 minutes, then read every explanation, including the ones you got right. Spend the rest of each session on your next lowest topics. At the weekend, sit your third full mock and compare your score and pace with the first.

Week 4: consolidate, don’t cram

For the first four days, go over your mistakes log, your summary notes and the numbers you keep getting wrong, such as doses and time limits. On day five, do one short timed set. Keep the last two days light, then rest.

Common questions

Is the PDF really free?

Yes. It is a direct download, with no email address or account needed.

Do I need Dentoscore to use it?

No. The tracker and the plan work with any question bank and any full timed mock. Each topic name in the tracker links to five free Dentoscore questions if you want them.

I have more than four weeks. Is this plan for me?

Use the tracker now, and keep the 4-week plan for your final month. For the months before that, our 12-week study plan covers the whole syllabus.

What if I cannot sit three full mocks?

Sit what you can, but keep them timed. A full mock shows your pace and stamina over three hours, which shorter sets cannot. If you only have time for one, sit it in week 1, so the tracker shows you where to spend the rest of the month.
