FAQ

Questions and answers

Answers about the platform, the diagnostic, mock exams and billing. Anything not covered here can be sent to support.

The platform

No. ORE Ready is an independent preparation product. Questions are written in the style of the examination but are not official ORE questions, and the GDC website is the authoritative source for the format, dates, fees and results.

Dentists who qualified outside the UK and the EEA and are preparing for ORE Part 1, whether working in the UK, working abroad or between roles. The platform covers knowledge, question practice and timed assessment for both papers.

All thirteen subject areas across Paper A and Paper B, weighted as in the examination. Paper A covers clinical dentistry: restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontology, oral surgery, paediatric dentistry, orthodontics and prosthodontics. Paper B covers anatomy and physiology, oral pathology and microbiology, pharmacology, human disease and medical emergencies, dental materials, and radiology.

Questions and explanations are written to the ORE Part 1 format by UK-registered dentists and reviewed against current UK guidance. Every explanation cites the guideline, regulation or classification it relies on.

Yes. Daily Study, practice, recall and the knowledge organiser are designed for use on a phone. Full mock exams also work on a phone, although a larger screen is recommended.

The diagnostic and study plan

About 15 minutes for 13 questions. There is no time limit, although working at exam pace gives the most useful result.

No. An account is created at the end to save the result and generate the study plan. No card details are required.

A score for each of the thirteen subjects and for Paper A and Paper B overall, the subjects that most need attention, and an explanation for every question.

From your sitting date, your weekly hours and your diagnostic result. Weekly targets are weighted by each subject's share of the paper and by where your baseline is lowest.

The plan recalculates the remaining weeks. Missed work is absorbed into the new targets rather than carried forward as a backlog.

Mock exams and progress

Four formats. Mini mocks for short timed practice, section tests weighted like Paper A or Paper B, and full-paper mocks. One mini mock is included in the free tier.

Yes. Every mock runs at three hours a paper, the pace the examination sets, with a visible timer and the same flagging and navigation as the examination.

Score by subject and for the paper, time per question against exam pace, the five concepts that cost the most marks, and a full review with a rationale for every option.

From every answered question, weighted by recency and by the conditions it was answered under. Timed mock questions carry more weight than untimed practice, and the estimate reports a confidence rating that reflects the evidence behind it.

Yes. Every question remains available for review, with the explanation for each option and a link to the relevant knowledge organiser entry.
