Talon01 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 A decent chunk of our class seems pretty stressed out. But from reading threads on here I'm stressed I'm not stress.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuma Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well knowing 7 people from our class failed last year...doesn't make me feel too good! Can't wait for this to be over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixe Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Aren't pass rates sky high for Canadian graduates? Is getting a high score really necessary at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuma Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well none of us said we wanted to get a high score. And that is 7 people who failed ... from a Canadian school...despite everyone saying everyone passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixe Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well none of us said we wanted to get a high score. And that is 7 people who failed ... from a Canadian school...despite everyone saying everyone passes. I was just wondering if there was a need to get a very high score since everyone has already matched. Do LMCC scores (above a pass) have any implications?

JewelLeigh Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Last year, the faculty members running the Dal LMCC review course quoted a 98% pass rate for Canadian medical school graduates writing the LMCC I for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon01 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 The MCC lady who spoke to our class had said the fail rate was between 2.1-5.3% year-to-year. Although she never specified if that included IMGs or was Canadian medical school graduates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlatinumIce Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Studying for this exam is reminding me of studying for those stupid NBME exams... Some questions from practice tests seem appropriate - things we need to know to be safe, competent physicians - and others are just memorization of random facts... arrgh Anyone know if the pass/fail is based on absolute cutoffs or do they just chop off the tail of the bell (or whatever shape) curve? I'd assume the latter but can't find it in writing anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon01 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 The lady who spoke to our class from the MCC had said there's a predetermined cutoff. This cutoff is based on what makes you safe in practice. You're below this cutoff you flunk, you're above you pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi dear friends, this time you fill boring your work. After some period they are all useful for life. Thanks This spam is so...Zen. I'm sitting here thinking how much better my mccqe would have been if I'd been wearing one or more glow-in-the-dark wristbands. Dammit, where were you a month ago?

ploughboy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Spring exam results are now up on the MCC website. I passed (yay!). I'm also officially listed with the CPSO. It's been a good week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opiedog Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Anyway to find out each schools statistics of LMCC success rates for those who are applying to schools? I've been asked this, but can't find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_B Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Anyway to find out each schools statistics of LMCC success rates for those who are applying to schools? I've been asked this, but can't find it anywhere. Not sure where you can find the results. Our careers guy has showed us in the past, but where he got the info, I am not sure. Having said that, DO NOT look at this information in deciding where to go. It should have ZERO impact in deciding where to go. Not sure you were going to use the info, but I thought it worth saying.

The results are not published for the public. The schools are individually told how they did. For example, UWO scored the best average overall, this past year. They made this public knowledge as a selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, UWO scored the best average overall, this past year. They made this public knowledge as a selling point. That is true they did! Still without being able to compare that to the absolute scores of the other schools, and the standard deviations of those scores over a reasonable timeframe I find the fact we were the highest not that interesting.
