We have been proudly expanding our QBanks, developing new mobile applications and improving our features and user interface to better serve you.
View all our Milestones
We have optimized all the parameters for you so that you don't have to start over every time. When you login to your QBank, it directly takes you to the create test page with all the popular test parameters preset for you. All you need to do is click the "Create Test" button and your test is launched.
CanadaQBank gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself against other users by taking tests in timed mode. Your results will reveal how well you performed when compared to all users who took tests with a similar combination of questions.
CanadaQBank has created a feature within each MCQ that allows you to place the selected question in a separate section for future reference and revision. This feature is called "My Questions" and with it you can add a particular MCQ to your selected list of questions that can be reviewed at a later stage.
You can add your own notes inside each MCQ and review them at a later stage. This makes the learning process more interesting and allows you to review your own notes during revisions.
In fact you can take the "notes" feature one step further. Create your notes within the MCQ and then add the MCQ to the "My Questions" section. These questions with notes can be reviewed on a separate section of the user interface. This creates a highly impressive overall customization and greatly enhances your quality of learning.
Everybody has to start somewhere. Perhaps you are a medical student starting your preparation early or a well experienced physician who has lost touch with academics. You can now start with the "Easy" level of questions and then gradually work your way up to the "Medium" and "Hard" difficulty levels.
Learning moods will vary from time to time. Which means that you may need to introduce variety into your learning regimen. So rather than using the typical test mode, you can use the "topics mode" and master one topic at a time. The ultimate goal is to keeping moving forward regardless of your learning style. The topics mode helps you move ahead one small step at a time.
Before you can become a doctor in any country, you need a license that allows you to legally practice there. For Canada, the requirements to obtain a license to practice medicine includes passing the MCCQE Part 1.
The MCCQE is the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination. It evaluates your level of clinical competence by putting you through two examinations, the MCCQE Part 1 and MCCQE Part 2.
The MCCQE Part 1 assesses your knowledge of the principles of Canadian medicine in different areas such as medicine, pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and ethics. This Canadian exam is taken in a day and consists of MCQs and Clinical Decision Making cases.
The MCQ component has 210 questions which you have to finish in four hours. There is no scheduled break during this part of the examination, but you can choose to stop and rest if you want to. However, your timer keeps running, and once 4 hours elapse, this part of your examination stops automatically.
After your MCQ exam, you have a mandatory 45 minutes break then the CDM (Clinical Decision Making) cases part begins. The CDM section lasts for three and a half hours. It has 38 cases, and the questions can number anywhere from 60 to 70.
The CDM case section is as much a test of your ability to follow instructions as it is a test of clinical competence. The questions here are structured in such a way that each one has a specific instruction that you must follow, or you will lose your marks. Some questions may contain more than one right answer, but you'll have to pick only one. Additionally, some questions will require you to select the most accurate option, and some will need you to actually write down an answer. The CDM section is tricky, but stick to instructions, and you got it on lockdown.
You have the liberty to try the MCCQE Part 1 as much as four times. However, on the third try, you have to wait for a year before trying again. If you still fall short and want to apply again for the fifth time, you must obtain special permission from the council regulating the exam, the MCC (Medical Council of Canada).
Note that you will need at least a 226 to pass. To make sure you pass, you can use our resources at CanadaQBank.
To apply for the MCCQE Part 1 exam, you must-
● have graduated from a medical school that has been certified by the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) or contained in the World Directory of Medical Schools
● have a medical degree that is already verified or at least is being verified
The process of scheduling your MCCQE Part 1 exam is pretty straightforward. First and foremost, you have to create a physiciansapply account, submit an application and wait for it to go through. You should receive an email.
After receiving a confirmation email, you can visit the Prometric website and schedule your examination. The entire process costs around $1,330.
At CanadaQBank, we have over 3100 questions for you to choose from in several areas under medicine. Every answer has detailed explanations, and you can even simulate an exam to test yourself.
So, are you ready to write your MCCQE Part 1 exam, pass with flying colors and become a doctor in Canada?
