i think it would be interesting to know which subjects are most high yield for step1 based on the experience of those who have taken the exam. this can help people who only have limited time and need to prioritize. here is the list of subjects. rank them based on what you saw on the exam:

1. gross anatomy
2. neuroanatomy
3. embryo
4. histology
5. biochem
6. mol bio/genetics
7. pathology
8. physiology
9. pharmacology
10. behavioral sciences
11. microbiology
12. immunology

thanks for your help everyone! this should be of good use to those of us studying.
