How to Download Your Key

Just open the link in the table below and save the file. All four series are inside one PDF, with one page each, so you do not need to look for separate files.

Step One: Know Your Series

Your booklet series decides which page you should use. This is very important, because the same question appears at a different number in each series. If you use the wrong page, you may think you failed when you did well, or the other way round.

Not sure of your series? Check your question booklet or carbon copy, if you kept one.

Step Two: Count Calmly

Here is the method we suggest. Print the right page, or keep it open on a laptop. Then go through your answers, and tick every match. Add up the ticks at the end.

Please remember that this is just a count. The key does not explain the marks for each question, or whether wrong answers lose marks. Your advertisement is the place to check that.

What Does Provisional Really Mean?

It means the commission may still change some answers. So if your count is close to what you need, please do not panic or celebrate yet. Only the final stage decides things.

Think an Answer Is Wrong?

Dental subjects can have tricky questions, and sometimes a key has a mistake. TPSC has an online system for this, called OCMS. Here is what its 2024 notice tells us:

  • You have to apply online.
  • A “conditional fee” applies.
  • Paper letters are not accepted at all.

The notice does not give the fee, or a date for this exam. So please look on the TPSC website straight away. Keep your proof ready, such as the name, edition and page of a standard dental textbook. That part is our suggestion, not a TPSC rule, but good proof always helps.

What Should You Do This Week?

Task Why
Save the PDF The page can change later
Count your answers You get a rough idea
Check the TPSC website Challenge details may appear there
Keep your admit card safe You may need it for later stages

What Comes Next?

We could not find a date for the final key or result. It is a good idea to check the What’s New section every couple of days. If your count looks positive, you can also begin collecting your degree and registration documents, so you are not rushing later.
