Can anyone quesstimate what % of the test is comprised of Biochemistry related questions?

The best way to study Biochemistry is by using First Aid. Some people have also mentioned that they find the Lippincott book very useful. Overall, I would say that you are most definitely fine JUST using First Aid, and that anything additional is just for your paranoia lol.

That said, Biochemistry routinely comes in between 4-7% of the exam. That includes hardcore mechanism and metabolism questions (Electron Transport, Krebs Cycle, Glycolysis, NADH stuff, etc.).

I would say mine was about 10% biochem, and it was also heavy on heme/onc pathology...
