Hi guys,

I just wanted to find out from those of you who have taken Step 1 in 2015, about what topics are being tested, that perhaps you never saw before. For example, I've heard they're testing pelvic anatomy a lot now. I've heard the behavioral sciences are kind of weird now; they're testing things that are not in the Kaplan syllabus.

Just wanted some feedback. I have my exam in two weeks, and I want to brush up on new topics that are being tested more heavily. If anyone remembers/can summarize the questions stem and answer choices that would be great too (for discussion).

Thanks in advance!

bump please

each test is different so it wouldn't really be helpful for you imo to know what others were tested on

It's all an urban legend.
All these topics have been tested for years but due to reporting bias they get mentioned frequently.
Similar to the story of Blind men and an elephant

A friend said they had chemical structures, surgical technique/approach, and ACLS protocol.

Another said they had some questions with "none of the above", "two of the above", "all of the above".

They must have gone to a different Prometric center.

FWIW, I didn't have any of these and I took the test a few days ago.

Can you tell us about what topics were tested more heavily/more difficult concepts?
