2 quick questions about Step 1

[ilovevm]

Hi, i'm planning on taking the USMLE step 1 at the end of june. I have two quick questions: 1)Are the prometric centers using the FRED format yet; has anyone take the exam in the format yet? 2)Is your lunch break taken out of your 1hr break time? please respond, thank you.

I took step 1 beginning of May and I didnt have the FRED program. They will most def start using the FRED software at the prometric site by the end or start of June. Check out the website they usually have updates. Yes your lunch break is taken out of your 1 hour break.
