F508 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hello, For those who have already done the exam, do you find that the online objectives overview is representative of the exam? Were there random questions not part of the objectives? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The LMCC objectives are very comprehensive. They pretty much cover every single aspect of your clinical years. They are pretty representative. As you do better on the exam, the questions get harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goleafsgochris Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 The problem is the objectives are comprehensive to the point of being almost useless. Its been said here before, but really to study you need to go hard on OB, psych, peds and community health; maybe go over gen surg if you have more time. Studying medicine is really low yield because its only 1/6 of the exam and its way too broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDLaval Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 1 hour ago, F508 said: Really? Where does it say that? @MDLaval Really. We were told this last December during our mandatory "Synthèse" course. Now we have one single block, the exam isn't divided in blocks anymore where it adapted the difficulty level of the questions according with the candidate's performance. On the exam's website it says that there's only one single block of questions now: "The Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ) component of the MCCQE Part I consists of 210 questions. The maximum time allotted for this component is four hours. You can flag questions, and return to those questions at any point during the MCQ portion of the exam. ... All of the questions are presented in a single block. You may navigate freely between all of the MCQs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F508 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Nice, it's only 1 section now! Ok, so the fact that it's a single block means that the questions can't get harder? Did they explicitly say that? I mean it could be an exam with multiple pages and as you go on to the next page, the level of difficulty adjusts.

Yes, we were specifically told that it doesn't adjust anymore when someone asked precisely about that. One single block and you can go back to review/answer/change any question you want within the allowed time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F508 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Wow can't believe they finally decided to change that. Amazing, good news for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecookiemonster Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Anyone know if the sections are still weighted equally as they were in the past? i.e. Peds = Obs = Surg = Med etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
