really? wow! I just took the surg shelf and with the exception of about 6-8 questions I thought the test was very fair. If step 2 is similar or even easier that would be great

Has nothing to do with being fair, just the volume of material you need to know. On a boards you are responsible for all specialties so there's no way they could expect you to know as much as you did for the shelf
