▲ 7 r/INBDE+1 crossposts

I feel so defeated, I studied for 2 months for an average of 8 hours a day. I did booster twice, had high chances of passing on the kicks and targets. I’m absolutely defeated and I’m a mess. I’ve never failed anything before and failing at 73 is so frustrating.

My question is: is taking the INBDE again as a 2nd attempt the death sentence everyone says it is? Do I really have a low chance of getting in now that I need another attempt? Am I truly fucked? Please give me any guidance. I’m spiralling and I truly thought I had this in the bag.

My profile is as follows:
ECE 3.39
US citizen

Tx coordinator and Dental Assistant to Office Manager and Dental Assistant Feb 2025 to 2026

Now I’m working at a peds practice as a dental assistant, and they have both a general practice for the kiddos and a GA surgery center and I’m an assistant for both.

I have been promised LORS from the previous and current dentist I work

for. It’s been a month since I’ve worked here and I intend to keep working because I need the money to survive.

I was part of the rotary club for a year back home and organised health camps and participated in health camps too for leprosy, pediatric oral health management, and behavior management in the dental practice.

During COVID I was part of the CSIA organisation and helped covid affected families find beds and hospitals

I have 1 year of work experience from my home country as a dentist (I worked under a dentist with a DMD) plus the additional 2 years of training in school that I received.

I’ve written several articles and I have a good English level as English is my first language! I also did a music diploma during my degree

I’m honestly just listing stuff here idk how relevant it is. I just need guidance and advice. Pls help and if you have nothing nice to say, keep moving. Don’t kick a sad woman when she’s down.
