KAPLAN VS USMLE PRACTICE TEST PDF
A pdf file is also available from the above link, which contains the same questions for your offline viewing pleasure. You see the most recent set here, which includes a browser-based software version that mirrors the actual program Step uses (Fred V2), a tutorial, and 100+ question practice test. The NBME offers its own small set of free practice materials for the Steps 1, 2, and 3.I scoured the web to find free question banks online (updated June 2019): But free is better, and the internet is undeniably convenient and portable.

That said, there are other ways to study, especially during the basic science years.įor question books, post-Step MS3s and your local Half-Price Books are always good resources to buy study materials on the cheap. I believe USMLEWorld is the best question bank out there-despite its draconian efforts to prevent IP theft-and there is no free source out there that matches it (especially for the final marathon push before the big day). They’re also a form of active learning, unlike trying to self-induce a coma with the universally-utilized First Aid for the USMLE Step 1. Questions are an excellent way to learn the useful tip-offs and keywords, and-depending on the source-get a better feel for the board format. No matter how much money you spend on books, every medical student needs to do a ton of practice questions for the USMLE Step 1.
