The material on this page I downloaded from the USMLE website and all of it is free and perfectly legal
.
  • Here are important files regarding the USMLE step 1.
    • A PDF of general information and 130 sample questions for 2013.
      • This is a 50 page file, be sure there's enough paper.
    • Previous years' questions:  2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012
  • Click here to download the USMLE simulator application.
    • Choose the 'save as' option and put the file in the folder on your computer where you can find and open it..
  • Double click the downloaded simulator file and follow the instructions.
  • Here's a link to an online service. It costs a little, but they provide quite a bit of feedback on your trial run:  http://www.nbme.org/students/sas/sas.html
  • Ever wondered what it takes to write those diabolical NBME-style questions? Check out this tutorial: http://download.usmle.org/IWTutorial/intro.htm
Concerning the test simulator, you may have to reset your screen resolution so it looks just like what you will see on the real test.

I’m not sure, but I believe you can only take the simulated, computer exam once, so you may need to ’uninstall’ the program and the reinstall it to reset the internal clock.

There are many online sources of sample questions and emulator applications you can install. If you find something really interesting, innovative or helpful, I'd appreciate learning about it.

I hope this helps.  MB
