NBME tells you the CONTENT of step two, just like step one. Go to google and type around and see what you find. I just took it a week ago. It's kind of hard to break it down because the questions are mixed up when they ask you (you'll have an IM question, then Peds, then psych, then epidemiology, etc.). Plus, some questions overlap between different fields. You have enough time to study. A couple of weeks is sufficient if you have been keeping up/taking shelf exams during your third year. Good luck.

There have been multiple posts on this topic the last 3 weeks. I personally have put up 4-5 pages of info. Just scroll back in the posts on this foruma nd you'll see them.

Good luck!

Took step 2 a few weeks ago.

50-60% IM
10-15% Peds
10-15% OB-GYN
~10% Psych
~10% Neurology
~10% Surgery

as far as I remember.

I don't have percentages, but my exam consisted mostly of medicine (Rheum, Cardio, Nephro especially), then OB-GYN (mostly OB-management questions), Peds (several ethics related questions), Psych (several psychopharm q's), and surgery (almost entirely trauma and post-op care)
