hatsoff2 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 How much time do you think an average medical student needs to study for the part 1 MCCQE? I've heard everywhere from days to 6 weeks. Are we talking about 6 weeks of 8 hour days of studying (like for the MCAT)? We're also just about done clinical rotations and I've been cruising for awhile so am not sure where I stand.

hkmedic Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I did light reading here and there for 2 weeks followed by daily (full-days) for 2 weeks. I think it was more than enough, maybe even over-kill. I also wrote the MCCQE on the first day that you could write it. Better to get it done and out of the way. I didn't understand my friends who wanted to study an extra 2 weeks. The exam, as you will see, is very ambiguous, like the questions are poorly worded. It's nothing like the USMLE. Basically, more studying isn't going to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchEnemy Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Which resources did you use to study for this exam? wel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shikimate Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 4 weeks of UWorld CK, focusing on the non-IM/Surg areas, and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkmedic Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I used Toronto Notes and UWorld. I also quickly scanned the objectives here: http://apps.mcc.ca/Objectives_Online/objectives.pl?lang=english&loc=contents I applied and matched to a generalist specialty, and so I felt comfortable with most concepts.

Canada8799 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hello, those who used UWorld, I'd like to know which banks you bought as there is none dedicated to the preparation of our MCCQE part 1 thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrepid86 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 How much time do you think an average medical student needs to study for the part 1 MCCQE? I've heard everywhere from days to 6 weeks. Are we talking about 6 weeks of 8 hour days of studying (like for the MCAT)? We're also just about done clinical rotations and I've been cruising for awhile so am not sure where I stand. Two weeks of dedicated studying, or 4-6 weeks if you want more of a slow burn. That's usually sufficient. Hello, those who used UWorld, I'd like to know which banks you bought as there is none dedicated to the preparation of our MCCQE part 1 thanks a lot CanadaQBank has a qe1 specific question bank. It's not bad. UWorld is a good option too, but it's tailored more for the usmle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiens12 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Don't use canada q bank. Huge waste of money, they should be ashamed with their product. Manchester1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Don't use canada q bank. Huge waste of money, they should be ashamed with their product. Why? I just started with it and it seems fine. Detailed explanations for each question/topic and decent interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkmedic Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Why? I just started with it and it seems fine. Detailed explanations for each question/topic and decent interface. It's not reflective of what the actual MCCQE is like. I agree with the previous poster that Canada Q-Bank is garbage. When I was studying for the MCCQE, I actually had purchased a subscription to both U-World and Q-Bank and found that Q-Bank was the biggest waste of money ever. There interface was also terrible. I used U-World almost exclusively. Manchester1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada8799 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'd probably like to buy a UWorld subscription but don't know which section is most useful for MCCQE part 1. Can someone help me with that? thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shikimate Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 UWorld Step 2 CK is the one you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathvvv Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Uworld is definetely more helpful for the mcq section, be mindful that all units are in american values canada q bank is helpful for the check box section, I did it and find the cdm section (is that what they call it?) somewhat reflective of the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I found Canada QBank to be pretty garbage as well. UWorld was much more helpful. Manchester1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
