"[Posted April 14, 2008]

A small number of multiple-choice items with associated audio and/or video clips will be introduced into the USMLE Step 1 Examination beginning in mid- to late May 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 into Step 3 in March of 2008. As of May 2008 all three multiple-choice question components of the USMLE examination will include items with associated audio and/or video."


That was the announcement posted on USMLE.org
How can we practice these MCQs? is there any source for that?

In my personal experience ( I got one audio-visual question basically auscultation of heart area) I did not need the clip to answer the question. It was a bit like Goljan says many times you do need the slide to answer the pathology question unless the question is slide based. The clip just reinforced the information in the question and was maybe a bit of additional information.

Infact I did not have time to review the clip properly and i was able to answer the question directly based on the stem.
