USMLE Step 1: the practice module

What it covers

Covers: standard multiple-choice questions written to this exam’s outline, format and timing.

Does not cover: image-based, audio, long-list (7 or more options). DoMcq is multiple-choice only; the real exam’s other item types are out of scope.

Question format

• Each question has between 4 and 6 options.
• One correct answer per question.
• Not allowed as an option: “all of the above”, “none of the above”.
• Stems follow the exam’s conventions, such as “Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?”, “Which of the following is the most likely underlying cause of this patient's condition?”, “Which of the following is the most appropriate initial response by the physician?”, “Which of the following infectious agents is the most likely cause of these findings?”.

Exam mode

The real exam is 280 questions in 420 minutes. Exam mode keeps that pace for any number of questions.

Topics

The official topic list, as the exam body names it. Your questions must use these names; the coverage dashboard compares your set to each topic’s official weight.
