Past papers
MDCAT past papers
These are the papers previous candidates sat, kept in their original question order. The archive covers 6 boards and runs from 2000 to 2026. Each row shows how many questions that paper holds today. The 2026 papers are free, with the answer key and a worked explanation for every question.
Start with your board
Each board page holds that board's papers, what makes its paper different, and three real questions with the answer and explanation.
Every paper in the archive
Board first, then the newest year. The questions column is the number each paper holds today.

Three passes, and the second one is where the learning happens
The first pass is a test. The work starts when you mark it.
First pass
Sit it under the clock
Open the paper in timed mode and keep to the clock on its row. Do not pause for notes. This pass is for finding the questions you cannot finish, not the ones you can.
Second pass
Mark it and read every explanation
Read the explanation for the questions you got right as well as the ones you missed. A right answer for the wrong reason is still a gap, and it is the one a student never revisits. See how to review wrong answers.
Third pass
Take the chapter back to practice
Write down the chapter, not the question. Read the chapter note, then do a short chapter drill. The paper told you where to go, and chapter practice is how you get there.
The topics that repeat are measured from these papers, not guessed. Read what repeats across the past papers before you decide a chapter is low-yield.

What you can do without paying
The 2026 papers are open. The pass adds the older archive and the tools around it.
The 2026 papers are free, in timed or tutor mode, with the answer key and a worked explanation for every question. A free paper does not use your 500 practice attempts. The free attempts cover the practice bank, with worked explanations included.
The MDCAT Pass adds the papers before 2026, full timed mocks, analytics and a higher SAGE allowance. The pricing page lists the difference in one table.
A paper is a position in a real exam, not a set of random questions. The runner keeps the original order and the original clock, which is the part a chapter drill cannot simulate.
