My Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Part I Experience

I have decided to start my blog by writing my experience about MCCQE1. I took my MCCQE1 exam in July, 2020 during COVID 19 pandemic. My exam got cancelled for three times, thanks to Covid 19!!! But I am happy I could clear this exam.

This journey was tough and depressing. Everyone discouraged me and I did not have any guidelines but I was determined to pass this exam. I was confident about passing it but after taking exam I got to understand it was a difficult exam.

MCCQE1 is one of the Canadian Licensing Exams to practice medicine in Canada for International Medical Graduate.

What resources I used to prepare mccqe1?

1. U world question bank (Step 2 CK)

2. Master The Board 3

3. CMPA website for ethics

4. Shah's public health

5. MCC full practice test

6. Toronto notes as reference.

Time frame to prepare for mccqe1:

It depends on person to person. Average time frame if  someone study fulltime : 4 to 6 months. For me it was around 6 months with lots of breaks.

I will write about my NAC OSCE experience in the next post.
