The October 2025 MCCQE Part I results are in, and for dozens of MedCognito students, this round marked the end of sleepless nights and the start of long-awaited validation.
But this season wasn’t just another results release. It was history in motion: the first full cohort to face the new MCCQE Part I format — a completely multiple-choice exam of 230 questions, divided into two sections over 6.5 hours, and scored on a recalibrated 300–600 scale (with a 439 pass mark).
The pressure was real. The stakes were higher. And yet, MedCognito students adapted and thrived.
The New MCCQE Era: Shorter, Sharper, and More Strategic
The 2025 redesign transformed the exam landscape. Gone are the Clinical Decision-Making (CDM) write-ins. In their place: an intense, reasoning-driven MCQ format that compresses critical judgment, ethics, and patient safety into every question.
It’s no longer about grinding through question banks — it’s about thinking like a Canadian clinician under time pressure.
At MedCognito, this shift didn’t catch anyone off guard. Our prep system evolved months ahead:
- MCQ-Only Simulation Exams to mirror the two-block structure.
- Cognitive Endurance Training for mental pacing and fatigue control.
- Applied Ethics and Population Health Workshops for the context-heavy question themes the MCC now favors.
The result? Students who walked in calm, confident, and ready to reason — not just recall.

What sets Medcognito apart is its focus on understanding rather than memorization. Their detailed explanations, clinical reasoning pathways, and case-based learning helped me strengthen both my theoretical knowledge and diagnostic confidence. I noticed a real difference in how I approach patient scenarios and critical decision-making skills that directly improved my performance in exams.
Beyond content, their support team and community are exceptional. I always felt guided, encouraged, and part of a community of dedicated learners working toward excellence.
If you’re serious about your medical career whether you’re preparing for the MCCQE, TDM, or other licensing exams Medcognito is more than a study resource. It’s a partner in your professional growth.
Thanks to Medcognito, I’m more confident, competent, and ready for the next stage of my medical career.
I was introduced to the Medcognito class by some colleagues who also passed their exams using Medcognito. It was a tedious 4 months series of detailed lectures,assignments and mocks. The teachers were awesome ,they were energetic, calm while guiding me to acquire more knowledge and of course ,there was no spoon feeding hence ,helping me to desire and seek knowledge.
Anyone considering Canadian medical exams should definitely contact the Medcognito team without any delay because ,success awaits you. I cannot wait to start my TDM lectures.
Once again, I say thank you very much Medcognito team and God bless you all🙌 🙏 ❤️
I want to specially thank you Dr. Broni for all you do.
You saw this possible and you never doubted it.
My 1st attempt, 16years after medical school and I lost almost all the general knowledge; a radiologist who knew nothing about drugs or lab tests.
With 6 months preparation using Medcognito and a small personal discussion group and I have passed the MCCQE 1 on my 1st attempt.
Thank you Dr. Broni once again, you are simply the best.🙏🏼
The Common Thread: Adaptability Wins
Every message we’ve received echoes a single truth:
The new MCCQE Part I rewards adaptability, not perfection.
Knowledge alone isn’t enough anymore. It’s how you interpret data, balance patient safety, and apply judgment that defines success.
This is exactly the mindset MedCognito was built to teach.
Our mission isn’t to produce test-takers — it’s to shape decision-makers who can meet Canadian healthcare standards head-on, whether in a clinic, a hospital, or a testing centre.
Looking Ahead: Your Turn to Rise
If you’re preparing for the MCCQE Part I (2026 sessions), learn from those who just conquered the new format:
- Train for critical thinking, not content hoarding.
- Simulate the exam rhythm — two focused MCQ blocks, one short break.
- Internalize Canadian context — ethics, communication, and population health now anchor the exam.
MedCognito’s MCCQE Prep Programs are fully realigned for this new era — built by physicians who’ve walked the same path and adapted to the same change.
From anxiety to achievement — your story is next.
