I had the same exact question. Everyone i ask is saying the same thing. That there are 3 different versions out there. One i hear is Path dominated and the other is Molec Bio dominated i didn't know the third was with Anatomy??? Please anyone with any information, it would be appreciated.

I had Step 1 this August where Molecular and Cell Biology dominated over Path. The second topic was Pharma and Path was the third.
Also I had at least 2 questions regarding intracellular location for protein folding. And one to which I don`t know an answer until now: marker of hepatocyte proliferation.
:shock: I`ve asked several biologist with no result. All I found is hepatocyte activity marker.

Hey, after taking my test and talking with everyone else who has taken it, I think the key here is that you can't predict the distribution. Everyone's exam is different. The other point, is people remember the questions they didn't know. After answering so many questions, you lose track of all but the most memorable ones. So when we all say we get asked only certain questions, then maybe we are just remembering the ones we didn't know. I like to think that anyway, because, otherwise they need to do a better job a distributing the questions.

I do not remember for sure but it seems that Mcm-2 was there as an option.
