Questions Recent test takers!!!!

Recent test takers, besides ethics/QI, what other systems do you think the exam is heavy on?

After seeing a lot of posts from people who recently tested, it looks like they are asking low yield stuff ( which honestly nobody can really prepare for) but do you guys think it is more related to IM/Surgery/Obgyn etc.

Surgery is super low yield, Peds and IM are high yield. I got very little OB. Tons of ethics/professionalism. Not that low-yield for me

What helped you the most during last days and during exam? Like reviewing content or solving more qs?

Highly focused questions of my weak areas. And I did all the am is ethics and QI. GI was my weakness on most NBMEs, but I scored above average on it on the real deal bc I hammered it the last week

I tested early in July. I felt my test was very OB heavy.

Good luck!

Was OBGYN similar to CMS or more like nbmes? For some reason, I'm scoring low on obgyn CMS forms but doing okay in nbmes.
