      Study with the books
      How to use this. These questions are original teaching items written in the style of the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination. They are not real exam questions, and this page is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Medical Council of Canada. Every item uses Canadian clinical context, SI units and Canadian guideline reasoning, and each explanation cites the guidance it rests on so you can read further. Clinical guidance changes: verify anything you intend to act on against the current source before applying it to a patient.

      Common questions

      How often does the question change?

      A new question appears every day, keyed to the date in Eastern Time. Everyone who visits on the same day sees the same question, so you can compare notes with a study partner.

      Are these real MCCQE questions?

      No. Every question here is written from scratch by Dr. Filipe Santos in the style of the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination. No real exam material is reproduced, and none of it is affiliated with or endorsed by the Medical Council of Canada.

      Why do I have to give my email to see the explanation?

      Answering the question and seeing whether you were right is free and always will be. The full explanation, including why each wrong option is wrong, the teaching point and the source, unlocks once with your email and stays unlocked on that device.

      What disciplines are covered?

      The starter bank covers the six MCCQE areas: pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, and public health, ethics, legal and organizational medicine. Every question uses Canadian clinical context, SI units and Canadian guideline reasoning.
