Welcome to the torontoqualprep wiki! We recommend that you start here.

Here you'll be able to collaborate with all other wiki users on responses to each of the qualification exam questions. The wiki is divided up into the five sections the qual question list employs. Clicking on any of the links under Sections will take you to a list of questions, with some links to general reference material for that subject. Each question is has its own page, where you can find notes on responses, possible follow ups, and more specific reference materials. You can find general tips for doing the qualification exam here

We are also listing the questions we answer each week here.
