On the surgery shelf exam, you should expect questions about esophageal diseases, gastric complications, small and large bowel disorders, GI bleeding, hernias, biliary tree, and general GI malignancies.

There is no right or wrong time to take your NBME practice exams. There are a few to choose from, however. The UWorld Self-Assessments 1 and 2, or UWSA1 and UWSA2, are probably the most reliable practice exams out there. In particular, UWorld 2 is strongly correlated with your Step 1 score/pass rate.

There are several NBMEs available and the more data you have, the more accurately you will be able to predict your score. With that said, based on informal student reporting, the best NBME predictors seem to be forms 10 and 11.

Based on informal student reporting, NBME 28 and UWSA 2 are the most correlated with Step 1 performance. Given this information, it might be a good idea to take these two exams when you are further along in your dedicated study and closer to your actual test day.

What is the format of the exam? The surgery shelf is 110 questions long (all vignette based multiple choice, with varying numbers of answer choices), and students are given 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete each exam.
