I just did my first PT which included 2 question types I have never encountered before: Substitution Equivalence LG questions and a Comparative RC Passage. It was pretty stunning to first see them since I have done the entire CC and they were never mentioned. I found the hidden SE lesson in the upper PTs and I dug around a little bit and found JYs strat for Comparative RC but now I'm wondering:

Are there any other new question types from recent PTs that are not part of the CC?

If so, where can I find resources to tackle them?

    @jy-ping thank you for tagging the resources!

    Are there any other new question types we should be on the lookout for?

    Excluding the June 2007 PT, comparative passages for RC starts with PT 52:

    Where did you find the resources for Comparative RC? I would love to hit those.

    yeah I don't think, JY has a comparative passage lesson but every explanation of comparative passages serves as a way to better understand his approach so I recommend watching those explanations! There are no new question types I know of.

    I think SE questions are buried further in the curriculum because they're incredibly hard. JY says that you should just skip these questions unless you have a high level of mastery with logic games; they're not worth the time sink if you can't do them quickly. The best way to become fluent with them is just to do a lot of LG.

    As for Comparative RC, they're a relatively new innovation. Older tests didn't feature them. Maybe Reading Comp core should be updated to account for them.
