I have an upcoming NBME based exam using school chosen questions from various parts of different NBME subjects for cardiovascular systems and this is my first such exam in MS1. What would you recommend for time spent studying for pathology, physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, histology/cell bio, biochemistry, and microbiology? If I go by my Gutton Hall Medical Physiology vs. Robbins Pathology, there is more physiology than pathology. When I looked at an NBME basic science exam, it gave a range of 15-20% for cardiovacular on physiology and 5-10% for cardiovascular on pathology, implying more physiology than pathology content. I have spent most of my time using the Lilly pathophysiology book but upon review, it is weak on physiology vs. Gutton Hall, and Costanzo seems more of a review book than a textbook. Can someone help me get my bearings for this exam in less than 2 weeks?
As an example, Lilly describes a control of blood pressure as relatively simple, but Gutton Hall has three chapters on blood pressure control, and its very complex compared to Lilly. What is likely to be the level detail on the exam I am facing soon?
