Question 4

Does IMGQBank use artificial intelligence?

Accepted Answer

No. IMGQBank is a conventional question bank. The questions and explanations are fixed content, and the progress tracking is based on your own answers. We do not offer an AI tutor.

Question 5

Is the MCCQE1 the same as the MCCQE Part I?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Medical Council of Canada now calls the exam the MCCQE, formerly the MCCQE Part I. Candidates and study material still often say MCCQE1 or MCCQE Part 1. They all describe the same qualifying examination.

Question 6

What does the MCCQE look like now?

Accepted Answer

According to the Medical Council of Canada, it is a one-day, computer-based exam of 230 multiple-choice questions in two sections of 115, with an optional break between them. Always confirm the current format, dates and fees on the Medical Council of Canada website.

Question 7

Does the exam still include clinical decision-making (CDM) cases?

Accepted Answer

No. The CDM component was removed when the new assessment model began in April 2025, so the exam is now all multiple choice. Practise with single-best-answer multiple-choice questions under time.

Question 8

How many questions are there, and what subjects do they cover?

Accepted Answer

More than 2,400 questions across 20 subjects, including cardiology, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, infectious disease, pediatrics, surgery, emergency medicine and ethics.

Question 9

What does an explanation include?

Accepted Answer

Each question has a full explanation of why the correct answer is right, key points to remember, and a reason each of the other options is wrong, so you learn from every question and not only from the ones you miss.

Question 10

What practice modes are there?

Accepted Answer

Study mode gives feedback after every answer, which suits learning a subject. Exam mode is timed and graded at the end, which builds pacing and stamina for test day. You can practise in random order or work through a subject in sequence.

Question 11

Can I see how I am doing by subject?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your dashboard and results show accuracy by subject and difficulty, and each finished quiz shows a question-by-question review, so you can see where to spend your time.

Can I make a study plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create a study plan around your exam date, and keep notes while you study.
