Step I Fred 2 vs Fred 1

[kevinp2]

Does anyone know if there is a listing of centers that have converted over?

Also what exactly are the differences?

The differences don't really seem that big to me. They basically have the same features (minus a calculator in Fred V1). Other than that, it's just the color that's different.
I called my center to ask about it and they said that I needed to call USMLE because they didn't know software types and just installed the disks that were sent to them.

There will be more calculation in the next exams I think
Now that you have a calculator you have no excuse not performing complex calculations in USMLE
