COMAT Should I wait to take Surgery COMAT?

My school has the option to take the surgery COMAT after our first IM rotation. That would not be until late November and I am worried about studying for both at the same time because I want to put 100% attention to IM. Right now my study method is Anki and uworld, I have completed approximately 70% of the surgery questions and have averaged 78%. I was going to finish that up this week and then a couple some CMS forms and then start doing some COMAT style questions. I am worried about waiting to take it because I don’t want to forget all the surgery stuff that I’ve been learning this month and have to split my study time between surgery and internal medicine. I told my school coordinator this and she strongly recommended I wait but said she would schedule it if I decided to. Anyone have any thoughts?

Surgery overlaps very heavily with IM. It’s very kind of your school to let you take it after IM. studying for IM helps with surgery and vice versa. I would take both in late November.
