IMG from UAE (MCCEE score 427) I have noted down a few things about the MCEE preparation:

Material: 1. First Aid for the USMLE part 2 CK all the boo! e"#ept ps$#hiatr$ and statisti#s% 2. Kaplan series: &'L( the statisti#s #hapters) 3. *oronto notes: &nl$ the ps$#hiatr$ #hapter) *he above three I studied full$+ the rest of ,$ stud$ing was -uestion dependant as e"plained below) Stud$ing strateg$: 1. I used to do ,#-s for MCCEE fro, Canada q bank. I did by topic e.g. cardiology for 3 weeks. This way I can focus on one topic and cover it properly. 2. If I solve the question correctly and feel that the explanation given by the website about the topic is sufficient and that I am well aware of the topic being discussed then I limit myself to reading the explanation given by the website after the question. 3. If I solve the -uestion wrong or solve it #orre#tl$ but feel that I a, defi#ient in the topi# then I go and read ,ore about it) M$ sour#es for that E.*/A reading are either Toronto notes or the Internet (emedicine and wikipedia . 4. *he Canada q bank has questions per topic e.g. cardiology! pediatrics! "#$%&' etc...so for several months I did questions topic wise. (o that I can focus on one topic per time...then before the exam by 3)* months I mixed them up and acted like it was the real exam. (o I would do questions from all topics in timed mood (although honestly I used timed mood from the very beginning . 5. 0efore the e"a, b$ a few wee!s I did one of the paid examinations on the +CC website. 6. *hrough out my studying I kept notes (I wrote them on the ,(+-. II C/ 0irst 1id book! 2ust minimum notes on the side of the page . These notes were mainly bits and pieces from the explanations of the questions and things I found on line and they were mainly about the common topics that I found being repeated in the Canada q bank topics. #efore the exam by a few days I went through these notes once. 'ote: 1enerall$ I would sa$ that what helped ,e ,ost is ,$ !nowledge fro, ,ed s#hool) The info that came in the exam was quite close to a final year med student syllabus and so I used my own knowledge and sharpened it by doing the canada q bank questions.
