Posted January 04, 2008

A small number of multiple-choice items with associated audio and/or video clips will be introduced into the USMLE Step 3 Examination beginning in early March 2008. No more than 5 items with associated media clips will appear in a single examination. The 2008 USMLE Orientation Materials include a small number of multiple-choice items that contain exhibits involving audio and/or video clips. Instructions for practicing with items with associated media clips on Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3 are provided in the Tutorials for each Step examination in the orientation materials.
Items with associated media were introduced into Step 2 CK in 2007, and will be introduced into Step 1 later in 2008. An announcement will be posted to the USMLE website approximately 2 months before any items with associated media clips appear on Step 1 examinations. Additional information will be posted to the USMLE website as it becomes available.

This information comes from USMLE website update. I just wanted to inform we have one more hurdle

  #3

that sghould not be a hurdle..it should be even better than the written questions coz u get to see and hear...I hope it will be ok..lets not be afraid and face it!


  #4

I totally agree with docnikki. Keep studying and don't think about these things. When you know your stuff you will answer the questions no matter how they are gonna be asked. My idea!

  #5

However...Will this affect the score reporting as it was for step 2 Ck? Since the website have not mentioned on the score reporting, can we assume that we would get the results still in 3 weeks?

  #6

it should not affect the score reporting. They started the milti-media stuff for step1 &2 a little while ago too. since it is still "experimental" I doubt one would get more than 3-4 questions throughout the whole test...
