Create a DANB's NELDA Study Plan

1. Review exam requirements: Check the Dental Assisting National Board's requirements for the DANB's National Entry Level Dental Assistant exam to make sure your studying approach suits the exam's format and content.


2. Identify your learning style: Everyone learns differently, and most of us learn best when we get the same information in a variety of delivery methods. Identify the learning styles and studying approaches that best work for you to maximize your study efforts.


3. Create a study schedule: Set aside dedicated study time each week to ensure you're making consistent progress. You might consider having dedicated sessions for each content area, such as a day or week dedicated to different sections of the exam. Plan to take practice tests at regular intervals to chart your progress.


4. Take DANB's National Entry Level Dental Assistant practice tests: Practice exams will give you an idea of the types and format of questions that you can expect on test day. Our practice tests replicate the DANB's NELDA exam format, with 150 unique question on each practice test. By getting you comfortable with test-taking and getting the most out of your practice tests, our practice tests can help you ace your exam on test day.

General DANB's National Entry Level Dental Assistant Study Tips

• Find a study partner: Do you have a colleague, classmate, or friend who is also pursuing a DANB's National Entry Level Dental Assistant certification? Studying with a partner can help keep you accountable and provide an opportunity for discussion and clarification. Practicing test questions together might be an opportunity for some friendly competition too!


• Take breaks: Regular breaks can help prevent burnout and improve retention of information. As you study, give yourself regular pauses to decompress and process what you are learning.


• Stay organized: Keep your notes, study materials, and practice exams organized to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Whether you prefer a physical or digital studying environment (for instance, taking notes by hand versus typing them into your Notes app), a tidy space and methodical approach will help you stay focused on your test prep.


• Take care of your physical health: A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, so make sure your test prep routine also prioritizes exercise, nutrition, and sleep during your study period. During the lead-up to your DANB's NELDA test day, don't cram - get plenty of rest so your brain is sharp!


• Utilize test-taking strategies: Techniques, like the process of elimination, can help improve your chances of success. If you are stuck on a difficult practice exam question, try to rule out one or two options to narrow down the possible answer. Exam Edge's test-taking system allows you to flag practice test questions you want to return to - use these features to your advantage!
