FAQ
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Open the study dashboard free with no signup, or take any exam's free practice test. You only pay when you want the full question bank, timed simulations and every study tool.
What if I buy it and it's not for me?
Because you get the full question bank and study materials the moment you pay, all sales are final. Try the free test and the free dashboard first so you know it suits you. The one exception is the Pass Guarantee: complete the full prep, and if you still fail, we refund 100%.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
No. Because you get the full question bank and study materials the moment you pay, all sales are final. Try the free test and the free dashboard first so you know it suits you. The one exception is the Pass Guarantee: complete the full prep, and if you still fail, we refund 100%.
What if I study and still fail?
That's what the Pass Guarantee is for. Answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, pass 2 timed simulations and reach a Readiness Score of 80, then sit your exam within 60 days. If you don't pass, send your result notice within 30 days and we refund 100%.
How long do I keep access?
For as long as your Premium subscription is active. Cancel any time from your account and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.
Is the content up to date?
We check every exam page against the General Dental Council's ORE pages and show the date it was last checked. In November 2026 that included the Part 1 format (two 3-hour papers), the £485 fee, the August 2026 pass marks (50.5% for Paper A, 54.3% for Paper B) and the published sitting dates. Clinical answers follow current UK guidance.
Are these real exam questions?
No one can legally sell the actual exam questions, and sharing ORE material breaks the GDC's rules. Ours are original questions written to the GDC's ORE topics, format and difficulty, with an explanation for every answer and the UK guidance behind it, so you can check our reasoning.
Which UK guidance are the answers based on?
Current UK sources: SDCEP, NICE, the BNF, FGDP(UK) Selection Criteria for Dental Radiography, the BSP, Delivering Better Oral Health, IR(ME)R 2017, HTM 01-05, Resuscitation Council UK and the GDC's Standards for the Dental Team. Where UK practice differs from your home country, we teach the UK answer, because that's what the ORE marks.
Does one plan cover every exam?
No. Premium is per exam: each subscription unlocks one ORE Part 1 paper (Paper A or Paper B), and you pick it at checkout. You sit both papers in the same sitting, so most candidates add a subscription for the second paper too, and cancel each one when they're done.
What does Premium include?
Everything for the exam you choose, for as long as your subscription is active: the question bank, timed simulations, study notes, flashcards with spaced repetition, mind maps, video lessons as they release, your mistakes bank, detailed reports, the Readiness Score, all 5 bonuses and the Pass Guarantee.
How does the Pass Guarantee work?
Complete the full prep for your exam: answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, finish 2 timed simulations with your latest at or above the pass mark, and reach a Readiness Score of 80. Then sit your exam within 60 days while your access is active. If you don't pass, email us your official result notice within 30 days and we refund 100% of what you paid. Your dashboard tracks every requirement live.
What's the Readiness Score?
A 0 to 100 score on your dashboard that combines your accuracy, how much of the bank you've covered, your timed simulation results and your flashcard mastery. Reaching 80 takes consistent above-pass-mark work across the whole bank, which is why it is the bar for our guarantee.
What do I get with a free account?
Your saved free-test results, a starter Readiness Score, the first study-notes topic and flashcards for every exam, the mind map outline, your mistakes bank and the UK Guidelines Numbers Sheet. Upgrade any time to unlock the exam you're taking.
Is it a subscription?
Yes. Premium is £107 a month per exam (about £3.52 a day) and renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel in two clicks from your account, and there's no minimum term. Most people study for 1 to 3 months. If you want a whole year for one exam, the yearly plan is £963 for 12 months (3 months free) and renews once a year until you cancel.
Can I get free access by referring friends?
Yes. Every account, including free ones, gets a personal referral link in the dashboard. Share it anywhere. Each person who signs up through your link and buys a plan earns you a referral ticket, and each ticket unlocks any exam of your choice for 14 days.
Can my employer pay?
Yes. If a practice, dental corporate or sponsor is paying for your preparation, check out with their email address and we'll send a receipt they can use.
Can I study on my phone?
Yes. Everything works on phone, tablet and computer, and your progress syncs to your account.
Are you affiliated with the General Dental Council?
No. OREPart1Prep is an independent exam-prep company. Overseas Registration Examination, ORE and General Dental Council are names of the GDC, used only to describe the exam we help you prepare for. The GDC doesn't endorse any ORE preparation course.
