ORE Question Bank — SBA & EMQ Practice
ORE question bank — active recall through SBA and EMQ practice is the highest-yield Part 1 strategy. Our question bank mirrors exam-style formats so you build speed, accuracy and topic awareness — not just theoretical knowledge.
A 45-year-old patient presents with acute pulpitis. Which is the most appropriate initial management?
Using the ORE question bank effectively
Our ore question bank guide explains what overseas dentists need: research on exam preparation consistently shows that testing yourself strengthens long-term retention more than re-reading the same notes. For ORE Part 1, that means daily question sets after each revision chapter.
Practise under timed conditions where you can. Review anything you get wrong, then return to the matching revision book section. The book + bank bundle supports this read-test-review loop at £250.
This ORE question bank guide explains what overseas dentists need for UK registration through the ORE route. Use our ORE question bank resources alongside official GDC guidance and Enamel Academy courses for structured preparation. See also: ORE revision book, ORE Part 1 course.

ORE question bank — common questions
What question types are in the ORE Part 1 question bank?
The bank includes SBA (single best answer) and EMQ (extended matching question) formats — the question types used in ORE and LDS Part 1 written papers. See the course page for full details.
Should I use the question bank before or after the revision book?
Best results come from reading a syllabus section first, then testing immediately. Use our 50 free questions to baseline your knowledge before enrolling the full bank.
Can I use this question bank for LDS Part 1 as well?
Yes. The ORE/LDS Part 1 Question Bank is designed for both examinations where syllabus overlap applies.
How often should I practise questions during Part 1 prep?
Daily practice is ideal — even 30–50 questions after each revision chapter builds retrieval strength. Add timed sets and full mock papers in your final month.
Is the question bank enough on its own without the revision book?
Questions test what you know, but you still need structured content for unfamiliar topics. Most candidates pair the bank with the revision book or choose the £250 bundle.
What should I do when I get a question wrong?
Return to the matching revision book chapter, re-read the topic, then re-test similar questions. This read-test-review loop is the highest-yield Part 1 strategy.
