经常提问的问题

应试者最好浏览一下MCCEE经常提问的问题页面。

自我管理评估考试

MCC提供的自我管理评估考试(SAE-EE)是一个包含96道多项选择题的在线实践考试,主要面向国际医学毕业生和打算检测自己的水平为MCCEE考试做准备的国际医学生。该考试在任何时间都有多种考试形式。尽管SAE-EE不涉及MCCEE所有材料,但是提供的样题类型和风格很可能出现在MCCEE中,所以,可以辅助MCCEE考试。所有的SAE-EE考试(包括EE 1、EE 2、EE 3、 EE 4和 EE 5)试题难度都一样。考试结束之后,你会马上收到考试结果邮件,得知自己回答正确的考题数量以及考试表现和其他应试者的考试表现的比较。

资格考试目标

把资格考试目标作为学习指南,将有助于应试者准备MCCEE考试。注意: 资格考试目标包含在临床资料中。每个临床考试资料中都包含一套学习目标,这些实际上是所有MCC考试应试者都应该了解的。

准备MCC考试时,应试者应该系统地学习每一个临床资料,并仔细阅读相关目标。当应试者感觉自己与某个具体目标相关的知识或技能比较薄弱时,就会知道要实现该目标就必须更加深入学习,学习医学文献/教科书。

MCCEE在线测试

注意: MCCEE在线测试当前版本旨在为应试者考试相关信息,目前正在处于更新状态,最新版本完成后将会第一时间在MCC官网发布。

MCCEE在线测试主要演示以计算机为工具的评估考试的操作流程。应试者可以浏览其中包含的一系列页面,熟悉一下计算机环境下的考试,了解每个考试特征,然后应用到真正的考试中。期间,他们将根据说明使用鼠标以及屏幕中的其他部分。

MCCEE在线测试只包含10个样题,不提供正确答案,且不会对作答进行评分。考试的最后界面会出现回顾题目特点,并指出这些题目的哪些特点会出现在真正的考试中。回顾题目特点目前在MCCEE在线测试尚未激活,只是出现在回顾题目界面。

多项选择样题

网上可以进行MCCQE模拟考试,其中包含的多项选择题和MCCEE中的多项选择题类似。

DSM-5过渡

2013年5月美国精神病科协会发布了精神障碍诊断和统计手册的第五个版本(DSM-5)。

从2014年到2015年,以计算机为工具的MCCEE考题将更新使用DSM-5最新语言,这些更新的考题将继续使用DSM-IV-TR语言,不同的是,其前面会附上DSM-5术语。

据估计,2014年11月份的MCCEE考试将是第一次包含更新考题的MCCEE考试。

参考书目

MCC编纂的参考书目将可能有助于准备该考试。

Improper benaviour

If a candidate appears to be giving or receiving information during the examination, the personnel in charge of the examination is authorized to change the candidate’s location in the examination room or to immediately terminate the examination for this candidate. The examination centre staff is required to make a full report of all such occurrences to the MCC, which may lead to serious consequences, including, but not limited to, being barred from future MCC examinations.

Taking the examination

Tutorial: The examination will begin with a brief tutorial to help you become familiar with how the computer and examination software work. The answers that you choose during the tutorial do not contribute to your score on the examination. If you are already familiar with the tutorial, you can choose to skip it and proceed directly with the examination.

Note: The MCC website also offers the Online Demo MCCEE Sample Test which demonstrates how the computer-based examination works and which you can take before your examination date.

You will have four hours to complete the examination. Once you start the examination, you cannot stop the examination clock. The computer will keep track of how much time you have left to complete the examination. Your examination appointment is over when you complete the examination or when you run out of testing time, whichever happens first.

Once your examination is over, you must sign out and retrieve your personal belongings from the locker. At that time, you will be given a Test Completion Notice, which is a confirmation of having taken the MCCEE. This notice does not include your examination results/score.

Frequently asked questions

Candidates are encouraged to review the MCCEE frequently asked questions page.

Self Administered Evaluating Examination

The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) offers the Self Administered Evaluating Examination, an online 96 multiple-choice question practice examination intended for international medical graduates and international medical students wishing to test their level of preparedness for the MCCEE. Multiple forms are available at any given time. The Self Administered Evaluating Examination (SAE – EE) does not cover all material in the MCCEE. However, it does provide a sample of the type and style of questions that may be found in the MCCEE and can serve as a study aid. All Self Administered Evaluating Examination (EE 1, EE 2, EE 3, EE 4, EE 5) are all at the same level of difficulty, (e.g., EE 5 is not more difficult than EE 1 or EE 2, etc.). Following completion, feedback is immediately emailed to participants
on the number of correctly answered questions as well as a comparison of their performance to those of other MCCEE participants.

Objectives for the Qualifying Examination

Using the Objectives for the Qualifying Examination as a study guide may be helpful for candidates preparing for the MCCEE. Note that the objectives are organized in terms of clinical presentations. Under each clinical presentation is a set of learning objectives that are exactly what candidates have to know for any of the MCC examinations.

When studying for an examination, candidates should systematically go through each clinical presentation and carefully read the related objectives. If candidates feel that their knowledge or skill related to a given objective is
weak, then they know that this objective needs further study and will require them to consult a medical reference/textbook. MCC test committee members use the clinical presentations and learning objectives listed in this resource when creating test questions.

MCCEE Online Demo

NOTICE: Please be advised that the current version of the MCCEE Online Demo is presently being updated and is only intended for information purposes. The latest version will be posted on the MCC website as soon as it is available.

View the MCCEE Online Demo.

The MCCEE Online Demo provides a demonstration of how the computer-based Evaluating Examination operates. Candidates will be able to view a series of screens to familiarize themselves with the computer testing environment. This will give candidates an opportunity to learn about each feature before using it in the actual examination. They will be instructed on how to use the mouse and the different parts of the screen.

The MCCEE Online Demo includes 10 sample questions. The correct answers are not provided and answers to these questions will not be scored. The last screen of the sample test shows the Item Reviewing feature
that replicates what will be seen on the actual examination. The Item Reviewing feature has not been activated for the MCCEE Online Demo and is only shown as an example of the Item Reviewing screen.

Multiple-choice question examples

A free demonstration of the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Part I can be taken online and contains similar multiple-choice questions to those on the MCCEE.

Transition to DSM-5

In May 2013 the American Psychiatric Association published the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

Over 2014 and 2015, the MCCEE computer-based questions will be updated to include the new DSM-5 language. These updated questions will still include the DSM-IV-TR language, which will be featured in brackets after the DSM-5 terminology.

We expect that the first MCCEE administration to include updated questions will be the November 2014 session.

For more information, please visit Medical Council of Canada transition to DSM-5.

评分 飞出国

加拿大医务委员会评估考试(MCCEE)是一个以计算机为工具的考试,考试时间4个小时,考试内容为180道多项选择题,其中包含150道计分的选择题和30道不计分的选择题。

考试内容之所以包含30道不计分选择题,既是为了保证考试质量和/或为了满足调查需要,也是为了监督整个考试过程或一些考试问题的具体表现。尽管不计分的选择题不会计入最后分数或最后考试成绩,但是,它们并不被认为是不计分的选择题。所以,所有应试者都必须尽可能地好好回答每一个不计分的选择题。

所有考试题都是根据能力需要进行制定的,所以每个考试题难度都不一样。应试者最后分数和合格/不合格结果会考虑考试题的难度以及应试者回答问题的准确程度。答错不扣分,所以,当你不确定时,最好尽量去猜一猜选项。

MCC记录考试分数时采用标准评分形式,所以,存在一些预定偏差和/或标准偏差。应试者合格/不合格结果的判定依据是其标准分数与考试规定的合格/不合格分数的比较。应试者的考试表现判断依据是与考试合格分数之间的比较,而不是其他应试者在考试中的表现。然而,应试者也可以比较自己的考试表现与其他应试者的考试表现,因为最后获得的标准分数将会为应试者提供一些这方面的信息。

MCCEE考试分数标准评分范围为50分到500分,平均分数为271分左右,标准偏差为50分,但是合格分数一直都是250分。由于考试性质和考题难度分布的原因,考试分数不体现百分比。MCCEE考试分数在一定程度上可以通过平均分数来解读。例如,321分高于平均分271分一个标准偏差50分,371分高于平均分271分两个标准偏差100分。通常,MCCEE考试分数与平均分271分之间的差距反映了不同应试者在同一场考试中的表现差异。

MCC除了为应试者提供最后分数之外,还会对他们的考试表现进行反馈。MCC专门准备了辅助文档帮助应试者解读自己的MCCEE附加反馈报告。

**注意:**MCCEE考试在2007年之前采用的是不同的评分标准,所以,2007年之前MCCEE考试应试者的考试成绩评分标准不同于现在MCCEE考试应试者的考试成绩的评分标准。因此,2007年之前的MCCEE考试分数不应该和之后的MCCEE考试分数进行比较。

考试结果公布

考试结束之后大约7周,应试者会收到一封电子邮件,通知其可以通过physiciansapply.ca个人账户查看自己合格/不合格考试结果。之后,应试者的physiciansapply.ca个人账户很快就会收到一份考试成绩单和一份补充性反馈报告。为了避免发生任何错误或欺诈行为,同时出于保密性的需要,考试结果将不会通过电话、传真或电子邮件公布。

考试结果传递方式

MCC通过physiciansapply.ca向应试者发送一份考试成绩单,该声明包含应试者最终考试结果、总分以及合格分数。除此之外,MCC还会通过physiciansapply.ca对应试者的考试表现进行反馈,并且还会提供一个辅助性文件,帮助应试者解读MCCEE补充性反馈报告。

当应试者申请的机构要求其提供一份考试成绩单或补充性反馈报告的认证复印件,应试者可以向MCC申请发送认证复印件。但是,该服务需要支付一定的管理费用。

考试失败

尽管MCC不限制MCCEE应试者参加考试的次数,但是,通过考试的应试者不可以再次报考以期刷新考试成绩。

请求重新评分

只有没有通过考试的应试者才可以请求重新评分。未通过考试的应试者书面递交该请求,并且使用信用卡支付相关费用之后,必须等待长达3个月,该申请才能够获得批准。

考试结束之后,最终考试结果至少经过3次核查才会发送给应试者。边缘分数,即靠近及格分数线的分数,接受的核查次数更多。

鉴于MCC会额外审查边缘分数,所以重新评分之后也不可能改变最后的考试分数,只可能产生三种结果:考试分数不变;考试分数有所改变但是考试结果仍然不合格;考试分数有所改变,考试结果由不合格变成合格。重新评分之后,无论是考试分数发生了改变还是考试结果发生了改变,MCC都会通过应试者physiciansapply.ca个人账户重新签发考试成绩单和补充性反馈报告。

投诉

当MCCEE应试者被取消考试资格,包括以任何形式被拒绝报考将来的考试,或者认为考试结果有失公允时,可以向中央考试委员会提出投诉。应试者不可以对考试内容提出任何投诉。

如果你打算提出投诉,必须在收到评估考试合作委员会决定之后45天之内书面通知执行董事。

MCCEE合格成绩有效期限

MCCEE合格成绩有效期限为5年,这个政策于2005年11月被废止后,应试者的合格成绩便不再有任何限制。此外,2005年11月之前出具的MCCEE考试结果信件中所标明的有效日期也不再适用。该政策变化仅适用于曾经取得合格考试成绩的应试者,而不会考虑其参加考试的具体时间。

加拿大教育管制机构了解该政策变化之后,就已经掌握了所有应试者的考试结果历史和当前考试状态。标明5年有效期限的MCCEE考试结果信件将不再重新签发。

Scoring

The Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE) is a four-hour computer-based examination consisting of 180 multiple-choice questions. Of these 180 questions, 150 are scored questions and 30 are non-scored questions.

The 30 non-scored questions are included for quality assurance and/or research purposes, as well as to monitor the performance of the overall examination or specific test questions. While the non-scored questions do not count toward the final score or final result, they are not identified as non-scored questions. Candidates are encouraged to do as well as they can on every question.

Test questions are calibrated on an ability scale resulting in a difficulty being assigned to each question.The determination of each candidate’s final score and pass/fail result take into account the question difficulty, as well as whether or not the candidate answered the question correctly. Points are not deducted for incorrect answers. Therefore, it is always advantageous to make a “best guess” even when uncertain of an answer.

MCC examination scores are reported in a standard-score format, which are distributions scaled to have a predetermined mean and/or standard deviation. A candidate’s pass/fail result is based on where his or her standard score falls in relation to the pass/fail mark established for the examination. A candidate’s performance is judged in relation to the pass score for the examination and not judged on how well other individuals have performed on the examination. Candidates can, however, compare their performance to other candidates because standard scores also provide information on where a candidate stands in relation to other candidates.

The MCCEE results are reported on a standard-score scale that ranges from 50 to 500. The scores are reported on a scale on which the mean or average score is approximately 271, the standard deviation is 50, and the pass mark is always 250. Due to the nature of the examination and the different difficulty for each question, results are not presented as a percentage. The MCCEE scores can be interpreted in relation to the mean MCCEE score. For example, a score of 321 is one standard deviation above the mean score of 271 (271 + 50). A score of 371 is two standard deviations above the mean score of 271 (271 + (2*50)). The distance from the mean MCCEE score of 271 indicates, in general, how performance for one candidate relates to other candidates that have taken the same examination.

In addition to providing candidates with their final score, the MCC provides supplemental feedback on candidates’ examination performance. The MCC has prepared a help file to assist candidates in interpreting their MCCEE supplemental feedback report.

Note that the MCCEE was scored differently prior to 2007. Candidates who took the examination prior to 2007 would have had their scores established and reported differently than those of current candidates. As such, scores obtained prior to 2007 should not be compared to those obtained after this period. For more information, please contact us.

Results

Release of results

Approximately seven weeks after the last day of the examination session, candidates will receive an email notification stating that they can verify their pass/fail result through their physiciansapply.ca accounts. The Statement of Results and the supplemental feedback report will be posted in candidates’ physiciansapply.ca accounts shortly thereafter. In order to prevent errors or fraud and for reasons of confidentiality, results cannot be given over the phone, by fax or by email.

How results are communicated

The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) issues candidates a Statement of Results through their physiciansapply.ca account. The Statement of Results includes the candidate’s final result and total score as well as the score that was required to pass the examination. The MCC also provides supplemental feedback on candidates’ examination performance through their physiciansapply.ca accounts. The MCC has also prepared a help file to assist candidates in interpreting their MCCEE supplemental feedback report.
Candidates applying to an organization that requires submission of certified copies of the Statement of Results or the supplemental feedback report can request that the MCC send certified copies. There is an administrative fee for this service.

Fails

The MCC does not limit the number of times a candidate may attempt the MCCEE. However, candidates with a pass result on the MCCEE cannot retake the examination in an attempt to obtain a higher score.

Rescore requests

Only candidates who have failed the MCCEE can request a rescoring of their examination; candidates with a pass result are not eligible for the rescoring service. Requests for a rescoring from candidates who failed the examination will be accepted up to three months following the date of the examination, upon receipt of a written request and a credit card payment of the applicable fee.

To request a rescore, see Rescoring by the MCC.

After the examination, final results are verified at least three times before being sent to candidates. Borderline results (i.e., those within a close range of the passing score) undergo increased review.

Given the additional scrutiny that the MCC gives to borderline results, it is unlikely that rescoring the examination will produce a change in result. Three potential outcomes can occur as a result of the rescoring of the examination: no change in score, change in score but no change in the fail result, or change in score and change in fail to pass result. If the rescoring produces a change in score or a change in final result and score, the MCC will issue a new Statement of Results and supplemental feedback report to the candidate through his or her physiciansapply.ca account.

Appeals

Any MCCEE candidate who has been denied standing, including any denial of entry to future examinations, or who considers that the results of an examination have been prejudiced by the conduct of the examination may appeal to the Central Examination Committee. Candidates cannot seek to appeal the content on the examination.

Any candidate wishing to launch an appeal must notify the Executive Director in writing within 45 days of the decision of the Evaluating Examination Composite Committee. For more information on the appeal process for the MCCEE, please review the guidelines for appeal.

Validity period of the MCCEE pass result

In November 2005, the policy that limited the validity period of the MCCEE pass result to five years was abolished. Therefore, there are no longer any restrictions on a candidate’s pass result on the MCCEE. The expiry date on the MCCEE result letters issued prior to November 2005 no longer applies. This policy change applies only to candidates whose last MCCEE status is a pass result, regardless of when and how long ago the examination was taken.

The Canadian regulatory and educational bodies have been advised of this change and have access to candidates’ examination result history and current status. MCCEE result letters that refer to the five-year validity period will not be re-issued.

StackPath

National Assessment Collaboration

The National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) is an alliance of Canadian organizations streamlining the evaluation process for international medical graduates (IMGs) seeking a licence to practise medicine in Canada.

The NAC examination assesses the readiness of an IMG for entrance into a Canadian residency program. It is a national, standardized examination that tests the knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for entrance into postgraduate training in Canada.

Comprising a series of clinical stations, the NAC examination presents typical clinical scenarios. The examination may include, but is not limited to, problems in medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, psychiatry and surgery.

Achieving a pass standing on this examination does not guarantee a training position in Canada. However, candidates receive feedback on their strengths and weaknesses as assessed in the examination. Candidates can then choose to share this information with program directors as part of their application to residency training programs.

All NAC examination candidates are, at a minimum, required to have passed the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE) before being eligible to take the NAC examination. Some jurisdictions may add region-specific criteria.

The Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) accepts NAC examination results as part of match application packages. Please contact CaRMS for further information on its match application requirements.

The NAC examination is not a prerequisite to obtain the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada. However, depending on the provincial IMG assessment program, a pass result on the NAC examination may be a prerequisite for eligibility for residency training programs.

The NAC examination can be taken at any of the examination sites and will be accepted by residency program directors regardless of where it was taken. Candidates do not have to take the examination in the province in which they will apply for residency.

For information regarding centre assignment, please visit the Centre selection page.

Fees

The Medical Council of Canada and the provincial programs offering the examination have worked together to establish a national fee which will apply to NAC examinations. For more information on the NAC examination fee, please visit the Examination and Service Fees page.

Application to future NAC examination sessions

To receive a notice when registration opens for future examination sessions, submit your email address below. The MCC will send this notification to your email address and not through your physiciansapply.ca account. The MCC cannot guarantee that the email notification will reach your inbox.
