MJ - CAAFU are required to look at your medical - if only to say "Hey, you only have Class 2 privilidges on this out of date Class 1 medical - are you aware that should you take this flight test now and pass it, you will not be granted CPL privilidges until you renew Class 1 status? Do you still wish to proceed with the flight test, or postpone it?"
They must have forgotten with you.......but you are correct - you do not need a Class 1 medical to take the flight test (or training).
