There used to be this really awesome site: http://umed.med.utah.edu/testfiles/courses.cfm

with thousands of practice medical school exams. It was super helpful for synthesizing material. Anyone know what happened to it? is it permanently offline? is there a new web address? any help is appreciated.

If it is gone forever, anyone know of a similar website?

Looks like the backend is gone. A few of the other subdomains are gone as well for Test Vault, Testfiles, etc.
The web archive has the last capture in April 2015. http://web.archive.org/web/20150403180721/http://umed.med.utah.edu/testfiles/courses.cfm

Any idea why they took the site down? Had a couple solid questions

I'm guessing either the technology on the backend was end of support, or they only want their students to have access to it. Probably all US and Carib med students were probably hitting it hard, like the UMich site. The 2014 UMich stuff is behind a login, so who knows how long the 2010 stuff will be public. Penn State is currently migrating their old exams and lectures to their Wiki, which looks like it needs a login. AMC moved theirs behind a login. Some of the Downstate Practical links are broken too. Did anyone rip the Utah site before they took it down?
