CCFP Exam - Study Resources
How do I study for the CCFP exam?
There are many resources out there to help you prepare for the CCFP exam.
​
From the feedback we receive from our attendees, most recommend preparing early on in your residency.
​
The Review Course teaches you what to focus on, highlights the important Canadian guidelines, helps you with easy-to-remember pearls, and give you strategies and tools to prepare for the exam.
Although taking The Review Course does not replace studying - you will of course need to spend time preparing for the exam on your own - our attendees tell us that we provide them with a "road map" for their studying and a "checklist to make sure I've covered everything."
​
Some attendees recommend taking The Review Course as early as possible to help guide their studying. Others prefer to have it as a sort of final review of all 105 topics prior to the exam. It all depends on your study style.
​
Whatever you choose, we recommend starting the studying process early, studying with others and using a mix of resources. Check out the list below for the top resources.
​
