MCCQE Part 1 - Jan 2019 : preparation/advice from recent takers

[#exams2018]

Hello,

I am a Canadian citizen currently living in the UK, due to complete my GP training this July 2018.

Currently in the process of applying for my medical license in BC.

I have sat the MCEE but unfortunately due to recent changes by the MCC, I will need to sit the MCCQE Part 1. As this will be a mandatory requirement by January 2019, as they phase out the MCEE.

Need some advice from recent sitters on how to prepare for this exam, resources to use and any tips you can offer would be a huge help.

Thank you

Your best bet is to check the Canadian forum:

I would recommend going through Uworld. The Canadian exam has more OB, Psych, GP, Peds than the USMLE Step 2 CK and less IM and Surg. Also, know your Canadian guidelines. There are some practice tests/questions on the MCC website that you can use. As a UK trained GP, I don't think you'll have problems passing the test, I wouldn't be too worried.
