How do the subjects usually rank in terms of representation on STEP I?
I know Path is the most well represented, but whats next? Pharm? Micro? Phys?

On my test

Path > Physio = Micro = Pharm = Gross Anatomy = Behavioral > Biochemistry = Neuroanatomy = Molecular/Cell = Biostatistics > Immunology > Embryology

Thanks. It's a shame it's not consistent from test to test. I'd really hate to get hit with a ton of embryology...

Oh yeah, I had a question on veterinary medicine 😕

It was actually a pretty interesting question about a concept common to human medicine, but the vignette was bewildering

You're not likely going to get ton of embryology questions 😉

Thank god, or else I'd be taking the boards for a second time for sure.

wow, maybe it was experimental. There were a few questions on the last NBME that I took that I didn't really understand even after looking them up. They weren't veterinary medicine or anything, but definitely stuff I'd never heard of.
