stefan Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi all, Hoping someone can help me understand what I need to know/do for booking the mcqe... I am very lost on this all and have not found out much info from our admin. Currently in 4th year Ontario school doing electives. I see that there are different sessional dates the exam is offered: Jan 25- Feb 21 2021; April 27 - June 16; July 5 - July 25; and so on... My school finishes all of our transition to residency seminars/selectives on April 30 2021. I have heard that people normally write the exam after all of our school commitments are finished, is this true? Should I be therefore booking the April 27-June 16th session? Can I book the sessions for after this? Or do I need to have written the exam prior to July 1st (residency start). Is this something I should be booking right now, will spots for the April 27-June 16th session be filling up quickly? Any input is welcomed!

Heisencat Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 You need to write both parts before you graduate residency. It's best to write the part I before you graduate but it's not required to graduate from medical school. I would suggest you write at the end of April or beginning of May. Start studying part-time while you are finishing up your selectives and then give yourself a week or two to study full-time and you should be good. I studied for around one month total (2 weeks part time during my last selective and then I think 2 weeks full-time) and it was more than enough to pass this annoying exam. It's nice to give yourself a good 2 months to enjoy before starting residency, as you won't get this time again. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
