Is it just me or is that every 4th or 5th question in USMLEWorld deals with embryology? I was under the impression that it was one of the lesser-yield subjects on the exam. I'm glad that the questions are making me review the subject, but still....it seems a little overboard.

Might be just you, there are only 44 embryo questions in world. I think for boards the big hitters in embryo are Meckles, Sex differentiation + Renal development, and memorize the pouch/arches cause that will make those questions super easy.
 
yea for whatever reason i got tons of embryo questions when i started world, checked the used vs unused and i had probly gone through 1/3 of em and probly only done like 10% if that of qbank (could be making this up this is what i remember)... guess its just random
scared me a bit too!

if u want u can just uncheck it from the subjects on bottom
 
Can you uncheck certain subjects when you actually take the boards? I think I would uncheck embryo and anatomy.
