Have anyone heard about increase in number of biostatistics and epidemiology questions presented in step II ck exam?

Please let's keep each other updated on this thread.

Thanks

I took the CK on 7/17, which I think was after the new changes were in place.

I only saw a handful of epidemiology/biostat questions on my exam. Way less than on my step 1 exam.

Is there an announcement addressing these new chages? How you heard about it?

I checked USMLE.org announcement and nothing regarding these particular changes has been mentioned?

Could you please post in here a link that addresses this change?

I was referring to the new minimum passing standards that was announced on the NBME site a while back. I thought that was what you were referring to. As far as an actual exam content breakdown, I have no idea. I don't think they disclose that information.
