USMLE Step I

[2bdoc2k10]

Hey Guys, Could anybody update me on USMLE step I recently added components. I heard from this year they are adding some sort of audio/video parts, that you have to listen to murmers or things like that. Don't know whom to ask.so thought to post here. I just want to know that from which month this change will come into play, from january-feb or from June?
Thanks-

Summer 2007, so I am guessing either June or July. Discussion about changing minimum passing standards which if it passed through will be applicable starting JAN. 2007 (USMLE - United States Medical Licensing Examination) (http://www.usmle.org/news/news.htm)

USMLE - United States Medical Licensing Examination (http://www.usmle.org/news/mediaclips.htm)
SA small number of multiple-choice items in the 2007 USMLE Orientation Materials 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.
Multiple-choice items with associated media clips will be introduced in USMLE examinations no earlier than Summer 2007. An announcement will be posted to the USMLE website approximately 2 months before any items with associated media clips appear on an actual USMLE examination. Additional information will be posted to the USMLE website as it becomes available.
