This announcement from USMLE.org
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.

I just took step 1, and I think I did fairly well. However, I am concerned, because the last question of my exam was one of the new media clips, and time ran out before I could answer it. So my question is: are the media clip questions worth more than other questions on step 1? If some people still take 350, and others 336 with media, does that make the media question(s) worth 14 points instead of 1 apiece? Thank you.
