Lately, I’ve been trying different study approaches, but staying consistent is always a challenge. Tools like an MCCQE1 practice test really help me track progress and find weak areas. I’m curious—how do you keep yourself motivated and on track when preparing for long, demanding exams? Any strategies or routines that worked well for you?

Hi, I’ve found that breaking study sessions into smaller, focused blocks with clear goals helps me stay consistent, and I pair that with regular self-testing to track progress, much like you’re doing with practice exams. Having a set routine, such as fixed study hours each day, makes it easier to build momentum, and I also like to balance intense sessions with short breaks or exercise to avoid burnout. What’s worked best for me is treating prep like a marathon rather than a sprint - small, steady steps add up over time.


I can totally relate—staying consistent is probably the toughest part of exam prep. What helped me was breaking my study time into smaller, focused blocks instead of long, draining sessions.

I’ve also been using CanadaQBank, and it’s been a game-changer. The practice questions simulate the real exam format, so it keeps me accountable and shows me exactly where I need improvement. Seeing steady progress there definitely keeps me motivated.

My advice would be: track your scores, celebrate small wins, and stick to a realistic daily schedule rather than aiming for marathon study days. It’s the consistency, not the intensity, that pays off in the long run.
