Advanced Standing programs that require a bench test
A bench test is a hands-on practical: typodont preparations, waxing, sometimes a carving station, judged on the same criteria a clinical instructor would use. Programs that use one weigh it heavily, so plan drill time before the invitation arrives rather than after.
