From USMLE Website:
"small number of multiple-choice items with associated audio and/or video clips will be introduced into the USMLE Step 2 CK Examination beginning in early August 2007. No more than 5 items with associated media clips will appear in a single examination. The 2007 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. "
Does this mean that these questions will be pilot/experimental questions and not count? From what I understand, questions are only assimilated into the test after they have been tested on large groups of people. Also, I wonder if there will be lots of program crashes/computer malfunctions with these questions.
