USMLEworld subject representation?

[manning18]

I've gone through about 800 of the 2100 USMLEworld (UW) questions. I was hoping that some people who have already taken Step 2-CK could comment on how accurately UW represents the various disciplines, in terms of representation on Step 2-CK. Basically, the question is: are the subjects that are tested most frequently on UW tested most frequently on Step 2-CK?.
The most frequently tested subjects in UW are, in order:
1. Pediatrics, 2. OB/GYNE, 3. Surgery/Trauma/EMED, 4, 5. Cardiology, GI/Hepatology (tied), 6. Psychiatry, 7. Heme/Onc, 8. Infectious Disease,
9. Pulmonary Disease, 10. Neurology, 11. Endocrinology.
These represent, roughly, 75% of UW questions. Would you agree that these represent a similar percentage of Step 2-CK? Please add in any other heavily represenedted sections that may have been omitted from this list. Thank you!

I got these rankings, if you will, by doing just that... determining which sections were assigned the most questions, of the total 2092 questions in UW. I took the top 11 and divided it by the 2092 total and that's how I came up with the estimate of 75%. My question was, basically, how accurate is this representation in the following sense: do the same sections that make up the vast majority of UW questions also make up the vast majority of questions on the actual Step 2-CK exam? Thanks!
