Hi ,
I'm currently studying for both the MCCEE as well as the step 2 USMLE.. I'm hoping that I can kill two birds with one stone. To be honest I haven't got any past questions from the MCCEE but I'm hoping that they are similar to the MCCQE and the step 2 USMLE.
I wasn't really able to find much material online for the evaluating exam though... if I do come across something.. I'll post it..

I woonder if you got to know the difference b/w the questions asked in mcq form in the MCCEE AND MCCQE1....besides of course the known difference of the presence of crs in qe1
hoping for a reply

Not a clue.
When you read the info on EE .. it says you can practise with the QE question book that they send to you. My assumption is that there shouldn't be a difference.
But I stand to be corrected.

I THINK THEY SHOULD BE SIMILAR, MAY BE I'LL TELL U MORE AFTER MY ATTEMPT

Hi,
I am preparing for EE in Nov, I have been told that the Toronto Notes are more than enough to fare well. Sat the exam in May at London, but failed. What about yourself ???

I just read the FAQs to the MCCEE... apparently the Toronto notes are well used. The thing is I'm writing USMLE 2 and MCCEE ( can't make up my mind) back to back... and one thing i noticed is that you can't get all the info for USMLE step 2 in toronto notes...it just isn't detailed enough...
but i'm hoping that once you study well for USMLE 2 .. the EE won't be too bad...
I hope

Take my word for it.....
The EE is a an extremely superficial test and preparing well for step 2 deosn't guarantee that u will do well in ur EE and definitely not vice versa...
How superficila do i mean .....
3/4 of the exam stresses on epidemiology of disease....a lot of it is stuff u notice u already know and the rest is frankly useless stuff..
In addititon to that the test has no time factor....there is far too much time for the thing.....
Only 5-6 imgaes....
322 MCQ's .... most of them aren't even in the form of cases......
Frankly i am not sure how exactly u shld prepare for it... but a good way is to totally ignore the Toronto notes......
and just check the community health section they got there.....with emphasis on canadian problems...even that u wld get at max 5-6 MCQ's on that and they are all worldwide health problems.....
for example the health expenditure in any country is mostly on hospitals....and so if u get a question ...about health expensiture in canada ...then it is the same....
some questions here and there need some understanding of clinincal science and that is where u say good studying paying off.....
but my advice ..is to concentrate on epidemiliogical aspects of each and every disease........
like age, sex, MCC, etc.....
Another thing...... I do believe that it wldn;t be a problem doing well on the test..... I wld call it a somehwhat easy exam but also a stupid one....if they let me construct questions i wld have done better with trying to evaluate and assess the knwledge of students....
but just don't jeopardize ur step 2 ....study well for that ...give it its time..... and if u had to ignore the EE ..then go ahead and do it.... cuz the test isn;t worth the time and effort .....
Good Luck......
1....alot is asked about psychiatry and specifically childhood disorders.....and i mean a lot
2.....Public health..... they have wierd questions about some experimental studies.... not much about the basic screening and etc....
3....OB & Gyn....comes third....well overall .... somewhat not tough questions... concentrate on HRT and OCP and Endocrinology ....
4....Surgery ..... not so much Trauma but some G surgical stuff,...kaplan stuff is good enuf
5...Pediatrics..... relatively ok questions....
6...Medicine..... very lil questions.... to the extent that i thought maybe there was a separate booklet for that ....hahaha....
I don't rememeber any Cardio question .....
