UK dental registrationORE Part 1LDS Part 1

Everything the written paper asks, in one course

A clear plan from the day you join to the morning of the exam: which notes to read first, when the Two-Week Final Revision starts, when the 72 Hours begins. Essential questions marked apart from Important ones. The books already summarised inside, so there is nothing to open and nothing to search for.

One payment, 3 years’ access — and because no course like this has been made for the ORE or the LDS before, 3 hours of the whole thing are free before you decide.

Why this course

No other course gives you all five

We can say it with confidence: no course like this has been made for the ORE or the LDS before. Any course can claim one of these; The Arch is built on all five together, and we are confident enough to open the whole thing for 3 hours, free, so you can see for yourself.

  1. A clear plan, day by dayStructured and simplified: which revision notes to read first, when to move to the Two-Week Final Revision, when the 72 Hours begins. Set your exam date and the portal works out how many questions a day keep you on plan.
  2. Essential and Important, separatedThe bank marks the Essential questions that cover every teaching point (6,095 ORE, 6,309 LDS) apart from the Important ones that revisit them, so you always know what to do first. Every question explains why the right answer is right and each other option wrong.
  3. Nothing to open, nothing to search forThe books are summarised inside, topic by topic, each topic checked against the named UK source that governs it and dated. Where guidance has changed, the guide says so.
  4. Feedback mocks, checked against current guidance4 years of structured & updated feedback mocks, every question checked and explained, sat as a paper under the clock.
  5. 3 hours of the whole course, freeNot a sample: the real bank and the real guide, no card, to see it for yourself. And when you buy, 3 years’ access, or until you pass the exam — no other provider gives you 3 years.

What it is made of

The books, already summarised. You never have to open one.

Everything you are told to read for these papers is in here — the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Dentistry, the Oxford Handbook of Integrated Dental Biosciences, Clinical Problem Solving in Dentistry, the current UK guidelines and Delivering Better Oral Health — rewritten in our own words, cut to what the exam actually asks and ordered into short topics, with the doses, classifications and thresholds in tables. Not a reading list pointing you at them. The summarised, structured version of them.

Which means the part candidates lose most time to — deciding what to read, out of which book, in what order — is already done.

  • No textbooks to buyThey are summarised inside the course.
  • No lectures to watchNothing is recorded and nothing is waiting to be got through.
  • No live classes to attendNothing is scheduled, so nothing is in another time zone and nothing is missed.
  • Nothing else to buyOne payment, 3 years. No second resource you turn out to need.
  • No hunting for itNot spread across five WhatsApp groups and a folder of screenshots. One place, written out, kept current.

So the method is three things. Read the revision topic. Answer the questions that test it. Follow the daily plan the portal works out from your exam date — and it tells you each day whether you are keeping up. There is nothing else you are supposed to be doing.

See it working

A minute inside it, before you decide anything

No sound, no narration: a question answered and the explanation opening, the weak-areas report, and a revision topic going straight into the questions that test it. The portal is the same for both courses — only the material inside it differs. Want longer than a minute? 3 hours of the whole thing are free.

One price

One price a course. That is the whole of it.

No tiers, no upsell, nothing held back for a dearer package. One course per exam — the question bank and the full revision guide together, because splitting them only makes sense to whoever is selling them. One payment, 3 years to use it, or until you pass the exam, and the same list on every page that names the price.

Pay securely by card. Your access is set up automatically and we email you a link to choose your password within a few minutes.

On somebody else’s course, or finished revising, and short of the papers alone? The same sittings written up properly: every question checked against current guidance, every answer explained, sat as a paper — tutor mode, or under the clock. £99 to your exam.

Our honest advice: buy the course instead. The same papers come with it, free once your exam is booked, and so does everything the mocks do not. See what the course includes →

Pre-launch feedback

What the candidates who tested it said

Neither course went on sale until candidates sitting the real exam had worked through it and told us what was wrong with it. Fifty wrote back; six of them are here, and all fifty are on the About page, every word theirs.

ORE Part 1

I mostly followed the daily plan on the portal after entering my exam date. It stopped me from jumping between different resources. By the final few weeks I knew exactly which subjects were costing me marks and I focused on those.
Aarav M.India · April 2026 sitting
The explanations helped me the most. I made a habit of reading why the other options were wrong even when I got the question correct. That made similar ORE questions much easier to separate.
Priya N.India · April 2026 sitting
I was working full time, so I could not follow long classes every day. I used the portal mainly on my phone after work and during breaks. Having everything in one place made the preparation realistic for me.
Rohan M.India · April 2026 sitting

LDS Part 1

I was honestly very confused when I started preparing for LDS Part 1 because I had collected material from everywhere. Once I started following the subjects in order, things became much easier. I stopped opening ten different PDFs every day and finally had a proper direction.
Arjun K.India
The question practice was probably the most useful part for me. Some questions looked straightforward but the explanations showed me why I was making mistakes. After a few weeks I noticed I was reading the options much more carefully.
Meera B.India
I work full time, so my biggest problem was not knowledge, it was consistency. I could study for an hour after work, continue from where I stopped and not worry about missing a lecture. That flexibility suited me very well.
