Score 450, really old IMG (YOG 20 years)
Just want to say thanks to this community for sharing tips and tricks for the exam. I was sitting for the exam as part of qualifying for the PER pathway.
I just want to share this so that the very very old IMGs know that this is possible.
The challenge for me is that most things I know are outdated. There are new drugs, new management, new terms, and on top of that ethics are something else. Although I am a specialist back in my home country, I was a pathologist, and relearning all the stuff initially was overwhelming.
I only used Canada QBank and I used it well. I completed all questions for two rounds: first for learning things the first time, and second round for recognizing which topics I keep making the same mistakes. In retrospect I would have used AceQBank and MCC tests too but I did not have the time.
I took two months off my full time work to study — my previous job was so intense that I was too tired mentally to study at home. If you work as you study, I suggest studying regularly every day for one year.
I only studied Toronto Notes for ethics and public health. Otherwise I used it to refer to questions I got wrong for the QBank.
I used ChatGPT for making me questions for ethics and statistics.
All the best everyone!
