“I felt confident during the MCCQE Part I that I was well prepared and I think the prep exam was one of the factors that made it happen.”

“The PE is a big help. It gives us insight into the ethics questions that are a challenge for my friends and myself and gives us an idea how to get prepared for the exam.”

“The answers and rationales taught me so much. They were extremely helpful in making me understand how questions are marked. So now I feel I can work through them a bit better.”
