Two untimed preparation paths
STRUCTURED PREPARATION
From understanding
to exam practice.
The bank contains 400 independent questions and 80 case studies with five questions each. English and French are versions of the same 800 questions, not extra questions counted twice.
Practise the exam pace
A third fixed mock with 190 questions and 240 continuous minutes. Leaving the page or signing out does not stop the timer.
Vary your practice
A 190-question simulation drawn by competency from the full 800-question bank, with 240 continuous minutes. Questions belonging to a case stay together.
The three fixed exams use 570 distinct questions. The fourth draws from the complete bank and may repeat questions you have seen before. Unlimited retakes do not mean an unlimited supply of new questions.
KNOW THE SCOPE
For the IRB
specialization pathway.
This package prepares for the RCIC-IRB Specialization Exam. It is not EPE preparation and does not replace the College’s required Specialization Program.
Check your eligibility
The College determines eligibility, registration and examination fees. Read the official specialization exam requirements before purchasing. Buying this package does not register you for the examination.
A simulation, not the official exam
The official format is 190 questions over four hours, including ten unscored questions. Our simulations follow this structure: 180 questions count toward the result. They do not predict an official passing result.
Sources and edition
Check the edition and reference date shown in your course and confirm they fit your sitting. The official 2026 candidate guide explains exam rules and reference requirements. Official requirements take precedence.
Self-directed study
The package includes the listed online resources. Examination fees, paid external publications and individual tutoring are not included. You need an internet connection and an up-to-date browser.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your questions.
Can I use both languages?
Yes. One purchase gives you the English and French versions. Switching language does not create a new attempt or restart an exam timer.
When do the 90 days begin?
Access starts at successful payment, not your first study session. There is no automatic renewal. Your confirmation shows your access dates.
Can I use a discount code?
Yes. Enter a valid code before paying. Its discount, conditions and the final total must appear in your order summary. One discount code applies per purchase.
What are the refund conditions?
For an eligible first purchase of this course, you may request a change-of-mind refund within seven days (168 hours) after viewing no more than 50 distinct paid practice questions and before starting any full-length mock. An eligible voluntary refund has a total administration deduction of up to C$5. Legally required refunds and the other stated exceptions have no such deduction. Read the full conditions before purchasing.
Are these questions taken from the exam?
No. These are original preparation questions, not official or recalled exam questions. Examstead is not affiliated with or endorsed by the College or the IRB. No passing result is guaranteed.
