Just took my ck Exam as well.
I thought psych, peds, and obgyn were heavily emphasized as well!

I thought the questions were very fair, but I have very poor attention span and got tired mentally and probably mentally failed that exam. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS, BUT I COMPLETELY LOST MY ATTENTION SUCH THAT I STARTED JUST RANDOMLY CHOOSING ANSWERS!! It is really a test of stamina.
I didnt have any tricky questions, they could be answered by studying and they could all be answered with little extra focus on exam day.
the lesson I learned from the exam: CK = mental marathon. not bringing something like 5hr energy might have cost me 60points!! The exam was too doable.
I am just waiting to see how many questions I got correct while in REM sleep

Thanks Peesho,
I am hoping it wasnt all random, It certainly felt like that is what I was doing.
I hope my unconscious mind knows some clinical knowledge, and intuition and random guess are not synonymous.
the other problem is that I practiced qbank mostly in tutorial mode and was getting instant feedbacks. It was weird doing 8 blocks not getting any feedback!

thanks again

I wrote the exam, the day before they made the changes.
I had good number of biostats [not too many], but they were different than the question on uworld. I am not sure how much I am allowed to elaborate on, but more on understanding what numbers especially confidence interval mean to the interpretation of your over all conclusion on the study.

How long, I guess most questions were longer than uworld, but then there were short questions here and there. even for slow reader like myself, the length is doable.
