In my experience , the pathogenesis of diseases is heavily tested. they don't mention the name of the disease directly, they describe it's pathogenesis.

I didn't see much Step I material on Step II.

The stuff that felt like Step I material was mostly pathophysiology and a few genetic defects which you should have had hammered in by now. All the defects could be found in the Step II review books or UWorld. I don't recall any crazy biochem questions.

Definitely nothing to freak out about. I wouldn't break out the Step I study material to try to cover the stuff.

Very Little,

And the stuff that did come up seemed pretty basic.

I wouldn't recommend reviewing step 1 resources at all.
