Diana walks you through the dashboard: practice by topic, timed mocks, weak-spot tracking, flashcards, study notes and the Pass Guarantee.
Learn the reasoning behind every answer
The AFK has 200 questions across the whole dental curriculum, and the ACJ asks for clinical decisions from cases and radiographs. Every explanation says why the right answer wins and why the others don't, using current Canadian guidance.
- Original questions written to the 2026 AFK and ACJ Protocols
- Trap answers called out, like treating a vital tooth for a non-endodontic lesion
- Practice by topic or mixed, with instant feedback
See your weak spots before the exam does
Your Readiness Score day by day, accuracy by topic with the weakest first, and every timed mock exam against the pass line. One click on a topic starts a drill on it.
- Topic accuracy updates after every question
- Mock exam scores plotted against your target line
- The Today list sends you to your weakest topic first
Remember it on exam day, not just tonight
Spaced repetition brings each card back right before you'd forget it. Cards you miss return in 10 minutes. Cards you know wait days or weeks.
- Anatomy, doses, classifications and values that get tested
- 15 new cards a day, so reviews never pile up
- Mastery feeds straight into your Readiness Score
Turn every missed question into a point
Every question you get wrong is saved with its explanation. It only clears after you get it right twice in a row, so lucky guesses don't count.

- See the right answer and the reasoning behind it
- Shows how many you've cleared, to keep you going

Questions before you buy
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%.
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%.
Is it a subscription?
Yes. Premium is C$207 a month per exam (about C$6.81 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 C$1,863 for 12 months (3 months free) and renews once a year until you cancel.
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.
Are these real exam questions?
No one can legally sell the actual exam questions. Ours are original questions written to the NDEB's published AFK and ACJ Protocols, format and level, with an explanation for every answer and the guideline or textbook fact behind it, so you can check our work.
Is the content up to date?
We check every exam page against the NDEB's published information and show the date it was last checked. In 2026 that included the AFK format (200 single-answer questions in two 2-hour parts), the ACJ format (120 to 150 single- and multi-answer questions in a 5.5-hour session), the standardized passing score of 75, the limit of three attempts per assessment and the fees effective 1 July 2025 (AFK C$1,000, ACJ C$1,350, application C$900).
Is it based on Canadian guidelines?
Yes. Answers follow the standard dental texts the NDEB draws on and current guidance used in Canada, such as the 2017 periodontal classification, the AHA endocarditis prophylaxis statement, Diabetes Canada and Health Canada fluoride guidance, with FDI tooth numbering and SI units. The NDEB Protocols, free on the NDEB website, list the content areas we write to.
Are you affiliated with the National Dental Examining Board of Canada?
No. AFKQuizBank is an independent exam-prep company. NDEB, AFK, Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge, ACJ, Assessment of Clinical Judgement and NDECC are trademarks of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada, used only to describe the exams we help you prepare for.
Both NDEB written assessments
Each exam has a free practice test and a study guide. Premium adds 3,000 practice questions, 6 full mock exams, 800 flashcards and 60 comprehensive key notes per exam, organized topic by topic.

NDEB guides, written for internationally trained dentists
How to become a dentist in Canada as an internationally trained dentist
If your dental degree is from a program not accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC), the usual route to practice is the NDEB Equivalency Process: three assessments (the AFK, the ACJ and the NDECC), then the Virtual OSCE for NDEB certification, then a licence from a provincial regulator.
NDEB AFK exam guide (2026)
The Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge (AFK) is the first of three assessments in the NDEB Equivalency Process for dentists who graduated from a non-accredited program.
