How detailed is step 1?

[nope80]

How do you know how much detail to study for step 1? Also, how can I get a breakdown of how many questions are asked per subject?

For example, I never really learned anatomy and embryo that well. I am going over it in the kaplan books - is this enough detail or should I supplement it with other books? How do you know when you have supplemented enough? Sorry for the basic questions, I guess I just don't have a good "sense" for what this exam is really like...thanks!

Try one of the NBME practice tests - the depth and breadth of content is quite similar to Step I.

And every test is different. Some have more anatomy/biochem/cardio/pharm than others.
