INBDE Schedule for Students with Time Accommodations

The Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE) is a comprehensive standardized test administered by the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE). According to the JCNDE, "The INBDE program provides reasonable and appropriate testing accommodations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. These accommodations occur for individuals with documented disabilities or medical conditions who demonstrate a need for accommodation, request an accommodation prior to testing, and who are approved."

Students with documented disabilities or qualifying conditions (such as learning disabilities, ADHD, physical disabilities, visual impairments, or other medically recognized conditions) may be eligible for testing accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Common accommodations include additional testing time, separate testing rooms, or other modifications intended to provide equitable testing conditions without compromising the integrity of the exam.

We want to offer a breakdown of the new schedule for students with time accomodations. This information represents the experiences of students who completed the INBDE with the standard 1.5x accommodation, and it has been validated across multiple recent test administrations. Each number in the table below represents the minutes allocated per section/break.

Disclaimer:

This breakdown reflects the typical schedule reported by students receiving a 1.5x time accommodation for the INBDE. However, it is not officially published or guaranteed by the ADA or JCNDE. All accommodation details, including scheduling and timing, remain subject to ADA review and may change without prior notice. To confirm your specific accommodations and exam schedule, always contact the ADA directly before your scheduled exam date.
