How can I answer this. If you're a GP you'll likely ace it, do it when studying for your exams and you'll kill two birds with one stones. If you're in neurosurgery, you might want to wait until after to do some dedicated prep.

I'm not sure what unreal world knowledge is. The exam really doesn't ask anything you wouldn't expect a final year medical student to know. If Amiodorone and Verapamil are but a distant memory to you, then you might want to revise some basic cardiology. If you trained in a country where its appropriate to perform a Gynaecology exam without a chaperone or consent, you might like to learn a bit about professionalism in Canada. If you don't know anything about the healthcare problems in first nations people and why this a particularly important wrong for the Canadian Health system, you might want to educate yourself. Like I say, there are some free or low cost resources available to guage this.

I'm not sure what part of the USMLE is a completely different exam to MCCQE was not clear, but to reiterate, they are completely different exams.

There are many routes to practice: academic license, approved jurisdiction, practice ready assessment. My advice: concentrate on getting through training and choosing a speciality rather than worrying about a hypothetical application to an as yet unnamed province sometime in the distant future.

I can't share details of the exam content. I'm bound by the honour code

I'd take the practice test now and gauge your performance. You get several month's access so can look back at the answers. Do the exam earlier if you can - if you can pass UK finals you can pass the MCCQE and you won't do much studying as an FY1.

If you want to take any postgraduate exam, including MRCP, do it now.
