Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any books that were specifically for the MCCEE (unlike the USMLE).
After doing my research, I have settled on the following:
1. QUESTION BANKS:
– LMCC
– Canadaqbank
2. BOOKS:
– Essential Med Notes (Also called Toronto Notes). I am planning to do the exams in March 2016 by God’s grace. This doesn’t give me enough time to read this book as thoroughly as I’d like. So, I intend to use it only for reference. Please click on the highlighted book links to view them on Amazon.com.
– Master the Boards USMLE Step 2 CK
– First Aid for the USMLE Step 2 CK
– USMLE Step 2 Secrets

Hi Nada! There is so much material out there but I advise you to use (in order of priority):
1. Canada qbank
2. Master The Boards Step 2 ck and/or First Aid USMLE Step 2 CK
3. Toronto Notes (if you have extra time on your hands or you have a topic you want to read in-depth about).

I did eventually find a study group to work with for my NAC osce. It was basically through calling several friends who called theirs. However, join rxpg online forum and make a comment for a study group or study partner. You might find one. Secondly, what province are you based? AIMGA has study groups here in Alberta

And i have another question , is the canadaqbank close to the real exam or not ? And do you know how we can get some old exams to practice ?
LikeLike
I think it is at least 60% close especially for psychiatry. I also did the actual MCCEE self administered exam which helped too. So sorry I don’t know how to get old exams to practise with.

Hi Dr. Fomski, really enjoyed reading your blog post.
I wanted to know if you have any review of other Qbanks as oppose to Canada Qbank?
We’ve used Canada Qbank for a while now, but it seems it hasn’t really helped me much… I have tried the MCCEE and didn’t pass, and I am attempting it again.
Also Toronto notes seems cumbersome and not easy to get through as I notice I spend so much time reading it… I have the USMLE Step 2CK first aid… do you recommend any other?
My areas of weakness are Peds and Internal Meds…. which are key areas….
Any info you can give to me will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I also liked the Master the Boards CK.
I used the USMLE world Qbank Step 2 Ck when I was preparing for the QE1 and it was very very helpful for that exam. You might want to try it too.
However, I didn’t like the LMCC Qbank .
Although it is good to read the 4 big ones (peds, surgery, obstetrics and medicine), I think Psychiatry and Ethics are very important areas to know when attempting this exam. In my opinion, at least 25 – 40% of the questions are from these 2 subjects.
You already know that internal medicine is so broad and as a result, you can’t really finish it. Therefore spend most of your time studying the other areas.
