I was hoping to find out what percentage of each subject was on people's version of their exam (just your best guess!). Kind of like the NBME Forms 1/2 and Step 1 Correlations List...

I made these numbers up-

My test (6/12/05) was -
Anatomy/Histology/Embryology 5%
Biochemistry 5%
Genetics/Molecular biology 5%
Behavioral sciences 5%
Microbiology 5%
Immunology 5%
Pathology 20%
Pharmacology 10%
Physiology 10%
Integrated/more than one topic 30%

Thank you!
 
That type of breakdown is really hard to generate. After going through 350 questions, I found it really hard to remember any specific ones. The ones I could remember were the ones that I had trouble with. People will selectively remember the hard questions, so the harder subjects will be over represented while the easier subjects will be under represented. Of course, everyone's 'hard' and 'easy' subjects will be different. Sorry I can't offer more help on this question, but I think it would be extremely difficult to come up with an accurate breakdown of their exam.
