The Study Boards vs Booster for the DLOSCE (2026)
Two names come up when candidates start preparing for the Dental Licensure OSCE. Here is a plain, side-by-side look at what each one actually gives you today: the questions, who answers you, the price and the guarantee.
Where Things Stand in September 2026
Booster is the name most candidates bring up, so here is the honest position as of September 2026. Booster does not sell a DLOSCE course. What they sell is their Canadian Virtual OSCE membership, and their own FAQ says the DLOSCE platform is still being built and is expected in December 2026. Until then they offer DLOSCE candidates half off the Canadian product.
| What matters | The Study Boards DLOSCEDLOSCE COURSE, LIVE NOW | Booster Virtual OSCECANADIAN EXAM PRODUCT |
|---|---|---|
| Practice questions | 4,500 DLOSCE questions in 34 timed tests, including 4 full-length syllabus tests | 900+ questions written for the 2026-2027 Canadian Virtual OSCE |
| Built for the DLOSCE | Yes. A DLOSCE-only course, nothing borrowed from another exam | No DLOSCE course. Their FAQ says a DLOSCE platform is “expected to be released in December 2026” |
| What you actually study | Ten modules weighted to the official DLOSCE blueprint, from Restorative at 24% down to Prescriptions at 5% | Their Canadian Virtual OSCE bank, offered on the basis that it “tests the same concepts and core competencies” |
| Who answers your question | A US-licensed dentist on our faculty replies to you personally | Their AI tutor gives instant answers, with chat support for the rest |
| One-to-one mentorship | Yes, with Dr. T and the faculty | Not offered |
| Prescription tasks | Practised as their own question set, drug through frequency | Not part of the Virtual OSCE |

The difference students feel first: a real person answers you
Most platforms have now put a chatbot in front of their students. You type a doubt at midnight and a machine writes something back. It sounds helpful until the answer is confidently wrong, or until your question is the kind no bot can settle: why this treatment plan and not that one, what the examiner is really testing, whether your reasoning was sound or just lucky.
Students tell us plainly that they do not trust an answer written by software on a licensure exam. Neither do we. At The Study Boards, your question goes to a dentist licensed in the United States who has taught this material for years, and the reply comes back written for your case. Every question gets answered. That is the part of this course you cannot download.
Prepare With a DLOSCE Course Built for the DLOSCE
$399 for 45 days of full access: 4,500 DLOSCE questions, the nightly tests, a faculty that answers you personally, and our Pass Guarantee. Still deciding? Our Admin Team with Dr. T and Dr. Kaur will contact you over WhatsApp.
