Has anyone out there taken the comprehensive, basic sciences shelf?

Although I have completed and passed all of my courses for basic sciences, my med school requires that we take the comprehensive shelf exam and get a "passing" score before we can progress (i.e. be done with 2nd year and take the Step 1). I am having trouble finding any online info on this exam.

Anyone, anyone? Please share.

200 questions, 4 hrs--I would recommend taking the practice tests available on the nbme website. If I remember correctly there were only a few wtf questions, time is just a very big factor--long stems with lots of answer choices.
