MCCQE Part 1 Result: How to Check Your Score

How MCCQE Part 1 results are released and where to check them — the physiciansapply.ca portal, what the Statement of Results shows, and why the pass score isn't fixed year to year.

Where MCCQE Part 1 Results Appear

The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) releases MCCQE Part 1 results through your physiciansapply.ca account. MCC also announces the general release date for each exam session on mcc.ca, and your detailed Statement of Results typically follows in your account roughly a week after the initial pass/fail notification.

Because timelines can shift session to session, always confirm the current release schedule on MCC's own site rather than relying on a date you saw elsewhere.

About the Pass Score

One detail that catches candidates off guard: the pass score for MCCQE Part 1 is not fixed from year to year. MCC confirmed in an April 2025 announcement that the passing standard can change between sessions as the exam is recalibrated. This means a pass score you find quoted from a previous session — or from a forum post — may not apply to your sitting. Always check mcc.ca directly for the current standard rather than treating any single quoted number as reliable.

How to Log In and Check Your Result

Go to physiciansapply.ca and log in with your existing account credentials (the same account used to apply for the exam)
Navigate to your MCCQE Part 1 exam record in your dashboard
Your pass/fail status typically appears first, with the detailed Statement of Results following about a week later in the same account

What the Statement of Results Shows

The Statement of Results breaks your performance down by discipline (Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Psychiatry, and others), showing you which areas were relatively stronger or weaker — not just an overall pass/fail. This breakdown is useful even if you passed, since it flags where your knowledge gaps might still matter for Part 2 or for residency interviews.

If You Did Not Pass

MCC allows candidates to reattempt MCCQE Part 1, subject to its current attempt-limit policy (check mcc.ca for the number of permitted attempts, since this has been adjusted before). Use your discipline-level breakdown from the Statement of Results to target your weakest areas rather than re-studying everything from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I check my MCCQE Part 1 result?

In your physiciansapply.ca account — MCC does not publish results anywhere else, and there is no separate public result-lookup tool.

How long after the exam does the MCCQE Part 1 result come out?

MCC announces a general release date per session on mcc.ca; your initial pass/fail typically appears first in your account, with the full Statement of Results following roughly a week later. Exact timing varies by session.

Is the MCCQE Part 1 pass score the same every year?

No — MCC has confirmed the passing standard can change between sessions as the exam is recalibrated. Do not rely on a pass score quoted from a previous session; always confirm the current standard on mcc.ca.
