The split, and why. Neurologic content takes five of the eleven content pages because the exam writes unfolding cases around neurologic deterioration more than around any other system in this book. Renal content takes one and a half pages because the tested renal skill is pattern recognition from a history, not depth. Endocrine content takes two and a half pages because both of its confusion pairs, diabetic ketoacidosis against hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone against diabetes insipidus, appear on nearly every form.

Margin noteif a number is the answer, you are in the wrong book.
Takeawaythis book teaches recognition and sequence; the numbers and the math live two books over.
