Changelog (July 1, 2026): INBDE Mock Exams Are Live

Mock exams are here! You can now run full-length INBDE simulations start to finish, as many times as you want. This one is Pro only, not offered in the trial.

Here is what that actually means.

A full mock runs the way the real test does

The INBDE is 500 questions across two days and six timed sections. We built the mock to match that exactly, full length.

Day 1 is three sections of 100 questions, then a fourth section of 60. Day 2 is two sections of 70. Every section runs on its own 105-minute timer, so you feel the same pace pressure you will feel at the Prometric center. Day 1 leans on standalone questions and Day 2 is all case-based, same split the real exam uses.

No feedback while the clock is running. You answer, you move on, you find out how you did at the end. That part is deliberate. Getting comfortable sitting in uncertainty for a full section is half of what the real day tests.

Mapped to the blueprint across the full exam

JCNDE builds every form to a content blueprint: a set balance of the ten Foundation Knowledge areas and the three Clinical Content sections. We map to that same blueprint across all 500 questions, so a Blip mock covers the exam the way the exam covers itself. Diagnosis and treatment planning shows up as often as it does on test day. Pharmacology, pathology, behavioral science, all weighted to spec and clinically mapped.

One caveat. We can only build to what JCNDE publishes. The exact questions and the precise distribution shift from form to form, and their internal weightings are not public, so no prep tool can claim a perfect one-to-one match. What we have done is map our mocks to exactly the blueprint they publish. That is the real spec, followed as closely as the published data allows.

Take it the way you need it

You do not have to sit a full two-day mock every time. Four ways to run one:

  • Full exam, both days, all 500
  • Day 1 only
  • Day 2 only
  • A single section

Full mocks when you want the real stress test. Single sections when you have an hour and want to drill under real timing without committing to the whole thing.

You find out where you stand

Every mock ends with a readiness read: overall performance, then a breakdown by Clinical Content section and by Foundation Knowledge area, mirroring the report failed candidates actually receive from JCNDE. You see which areas carried you and which ones need work before test day.

It is a practice estimate, not a score prediction. Nobody can promise you a pass from a practice test. What it can do is show you where your gaps are while there is still time to close them.

Every question you touch in a mock feeds the rest of Blip too. Missed questions resurface in your weak-spot targeting. Nothing you do in a mock is wasted.

Drill smarter for the INBDE

If you have not tried Blip yet, this is a good time to start. Blip studies your history and performance in real time and serves up what you need next, so you always know where you stand and what to drill.

FAQ

How many mock exams can I take? As many as you want. Run full two-day simulations or single sections on repeat, right up to test day.

Does the mock match the real INBDE format? Yes. 500 questions, two days, six timed sections, mapped to the JCNDE content blueprint across the full exam.

Do I see answers during the mock? No. Like the real exam, you get your explanations and breakdown at the end, not mid-section.

Is the mock exam free? No, it is a Pro feature and is not part of the free trial.

Will my mock results show up in the rest of Blip? Yes. Questions you miss feed back into your weak-spot targeting, so a mock doubles as a study session.

Drill smarter for the INBDE.

Blip studies your history and performance in real time and serves up what you need next. Every question clinically reviewed by Dr. Silppa, an endodontist who passed the INBDE on her first attempt.
