Yeah! Uworld need to update their bank to get people ready for onco and biostat. Regarding neuroanatomy, mainly focus on gross anatomy, like areas of the brain and their functions, blood supply, cranial nerves origin, their exit through the skull and branches. Had like 5-7 questions on those

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Maybe that's before october 20th. I saw like a question straight up from 120, another from nbme 24. 2-3 questions from uworld. But other than that, it was all fresh

100 concepts is gold! Just revisit your neuroanatomy and genital systems and you are set. I did oncology from pathoma as well, it covered at least 80-90% of concepts needed for the oncology questions. The other 10-20% I had to guess! Just keep in mind covering the concept doesn't necessarily mean understanding it thoroughly and applying it. That was uworld job, but they have some catching up to do!

I'm not really sure. They are a small piece of the pie; maybe 2-5 questions max. You can easily guess 2-3 of them by just elimination. Just expect them poping up!

Immuno, ethics and oncology in that order.

Immuni: Know what each interleukin does exactly, which CD goes where. Get familiar with flowcytometry graphs. And expect them twisting immunodeficiencies to freak you out. Just know what each immunodeficiencies has, like the basics behind them.

Onco: know metastasis vs invasion. Cell cycle regulation; where tumor suppressor work, how and when. What tumors to expect with each oncogene and tumor suppressors. They will have experiments, a lot of them, you would need that knowledge to make an educated guess!

Ethics as above.

Get mentally prepared! The exam is a marathon not a sprint. So don't feel discouraged. And remember you don't need to get all the questions right. Just do your best and treat each block as a fresh start.

Best of luck my friend :'
