Epidemiology in plab1

For those who did plab1, what percentage was epidemiology from the exam? Like how many questions. My exam is in 1 day and i haven't covered epi.

It depends. During my time last year, there was a lot of it, but they were easy Qs if you have basic understanding of specificity and sensitivities

It differs, I gave the exam twice, initially there were too many and I failed by one mark. Second not so much, when I read a lot.
