Using the LDS question bank effectively
Our lds question bank guide explains what overseas dentists need: testing yourself strengthens long-term retention more than re-reading the same notes. For LDS Part 1, that means regular SBA and EMQ sets alongside syllabus review from the revision book.
Enamel Academy offers 50 free ORE practice questions to baseline your knowledge, plus the ORE/LDS Part 1 Question Bank (£175) for comprehensive daily practice. The book + bank bundle (£250) pairs reading with immediate testing.
This LDS question bank guide supports overseas dentists preparing for the LDS route to UK registration. Use our LDS question bank resources alongside official GDC guidance and Enamel Academy shop products for structured LDS preparation. See also: LDS revision book, LDS Part 1 course.

LDS question bank — common questions
Is the ORE/LDS question bank suitable for LDS Part 1?
Yes. The ORE/LDS Part 1 Question Bank covers SBA and EMQ formats used in both ORE and LDS Part 1 written exams. See the product page for question types and coverage.
Should I use the question bank before or after the revision book?
Best results come from reading a chapter then testing immediately. Use free questions to find weak areas, revise those topics in the book, then re-test with the full bank.
How often should I practise questions?
Daily practice is ideal — even 20–30 questions builds speed and topic awareness. Increase timed sets as your Part 1 exam approaches.
Are free questions enough on their own?
Free questions are ideal for baselining. Most candidates add the full question bank and revision book for comprehensive Part 1 preparation before sitting.
Does the question bank cover EMQ as well as SBA?
The ORE/LDS Part 1 Question Bank includes both SBA and EMQ-style questions — check the product page for full details on question types covered.
What should I do when I get a question wrong?
Revisit the matching revision book chapter, review the underlying concept, then re-test similar questions. This read-test-review loop is the highest-yield Part 1 strategy.
