Highest yield class for step 1

For those who took step 1 in the last year or so: which AUC class was highest yield for the exam. (Or which class would have been highest had it been taught differently?) Even a ranking of the top couple would be helpful.

I think Physio I would be one of the highest; if taught differently. I still struggle with cardiology in the land of clinicals.

Dr. B is only teaching a few weeks of Phys 1. There are other visiting lecturers; quality variable.

Path for sure. You also have to remember that even if the question isnt a path question directly, many of the step 1 questions require that you know the diagnosis in order to answer a 2nd order question, thus making a strong pathology background essential.
