Doesn't give you an explanation for the wrong answers but some test prep companies like Kaplan have written up their own.

Its a module said to resemble the real thing with a small sample size of 150 qs, most people take it right before the exam to gauge their potential performance.
It's best to download the latest one released, from what I read, there will be transition period that will begin may 15th which will have lower # of clinical vignetter format qs , NBME plans to release new test items to reflect this change.
I dunno if they have released em yet ,but you can locate the current 150 qs here:
www.usmle.org , look under the sample USMLE STEP 1 questions test section.Additionally kaplan's website provides the answer key and explained answers to this test, download this as well from their website.
Good luck!

I have tried the Qs before my exam, they're ok but remain the same for past years I believe (I've tried 2005, 2006, 2009), the only difference is that older versions have 50Q and newer ones only 48. The style of the Qs is shorter than current ones I think, so relatively speaking, I think it's easier.
Wikitestprep has the explanations and score estimator, so just google it. It overestimate mine like UWSA, but still good practice.
