HIGH-YIELD STEP 1 + COMLEX REVIEW
YEAR 1-2 | PAGE 12D - IMMUNOLOGY BOARD TRANSFER + READINESS
CURRENT EXAM EMPHASIS
USMLE currently classifies Immunology at roughly 5-15% discipline overlap; Blood/Lymphoreticular/Immune also contributes a major systems share. Highest-yield transfer comes from immune-mechanism reasoning, immunodeficiency infection patterns, hypersensitivity classification and targeted recall of antibodies/HLA/transplant patterns.

G. PRACTICE + READINESS - INTENTIONALLY NOT VIDEO — PROFESSIONAL-EXAM MASTERY GATE
Board-ready means you can infer the defective immune arm from infection/lab patterns, classify Types I-IV rapidly, distinguish complement/antibody/T-cell mechanisms, and reason through transplant/immunotherapy consequences. Use high-yield videos to repair specific misses; use NBME/COMSAE trends to judge readiness. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
