UW Oncology - too easy?

Right so I'm 3 weeks from test day. I am reading First Aid as I go and have been referencing Step-Up here and there as well. Anyhow, I am half way finished with the oncology section of UW and I have an 85%. This seems too high considering I have been hovering around 60-65% on the rest of UW (of course, that's with no pre-reading, but...that's beside the point) Does anyone else feel that this section is too easy? Can any step 1 veterans chime in and give some feedback on how they felt onc ?s on the 'real deal' compared to the UW onc questions? Thanks, and only all of the best luck to you all.

I haven't taken the boards yet (~2 weeks)....and really don't remember specifically what I thought about the onc q's on UW.....but if you want some q's to really test the limits of your knowledge of this stuff I would rec. doing the Robbins Review Book questions on Neoplasia....one of the more difficult sections in that book IMO

Thanks - I may check that out if I get the chance. I used that book a lot during my coursework (did all the cardio, gi, renal, pulm, etc but never did the onc section)

i'm curious about this also, can any recent test takers comment on the extent of onc representation...

thanks
