The challenge
The Overseas Registration Exam Part 1 decides whether GDC grants your licence.
- The exam covers every field of dentistry, from endodontics to oral surgery and practice law. Textbooks do not tell you what GDC actually asks.
- Time pressure in the exam is real, and pacing has to be trained in advance.
- The question style is specific: clinical scenarios, best-answer choices and distractors that look right.
- Working full time leaves little room to plan revision, and a retake costs months of waiting and another exam fee.
How MediFlow solves it
- A question bank built on the published content of GDC, organised by topic, so you know what matters.
- Timed mock exams in the real exam format train your pace before the real day.
- Every answer is explained, including why the other options are wrong.
- A study plan up to your exam date tells you what to do each day and brings weak topics back for review.
