We at the USMLERx team have one singular goal: to continue to improve both the quality of questions in our question bank and the manner in which those questions are presented to you. With this in mind, here are some exciting new features on our Web site that are sure to enhance your board preparation experience:

1. Half-day or full-day exam simulation. Now you can simulate an actual half-day or full-day exam on USMLERx.com. You can create either a partial simulation, with four blocks of fifty questions per block, or a complete simulation consisting of seven blocks of fifty questions per block. (To do so, you must have enough unused questions in the bank to create these simulations.) Once questions are placed in Simulation Mode, they will not be available for regular test use on the Web site. As with regular tests on Step 1 Qmax, you will have the ability to continue after each block or suspend the simulation for later. Each block in a simulation will have a separate Analysis Page, and at the completion of each simulation, an Overall Analysis Page will be available for your review. This new feature will allow you to track your progress.
2. Review Question Page. The questions you annotate for review will now be listed on the Review Question Page with links to the actual questions. All you need to do is click on the date link next to a given question, and a new window will open with your question(s) for easy review.
3. More specific options for creating tests. You can now create a test with both an organ system and a discipline, making testing more defined. We have also focused the correct/incorrect question use. You can create tests using ONLY incorrect questions. Watch your incorrect question count go down as you get each question right!
