Especially for those who have taken exam please advise

is it just me, or does UW CK subdivisions not compare as well to Step 1 organization where it was easy to prioritize high yield?

most exam is IM plus Peds?? followed by OB?

psych and surg far second making up remainder 10%?

I'm assuming IM Renal, Cardio, Pulm, Endo, GI are most important, but SO many more subdivisions??

preventative medicine >> poisoning >> rheum >> neuro>> heme/onc?

etc etc
trying to make study plan for UW questions from highest yield downwards, but dont know how to rank all small IM subdivisions with OB, peds, psych etc

Different people will tell you different things. My exam was IM+peds heavy. Psych was not very high yield. Again, different people have different exams, of course.

If I were in your place, I would start with random all-IM blocks - that way you will get to read explanations on topics that the questions you were able to finish were not directly about. I'd also focus on biostatistics. You can do 100 random IM questions + 50 questions in other subjects every day for a total of 150- if your only source of studying is Uworld.
