PT 84 Grading Error

PT 84 S4 Q6 has the answer choices mixed up and incorrectly marks the correct answer as wrong. The answers are presented as "A - 2 B- 3 C- 4 D- 5 E- 6" when you take it but the video shows it as "A- 3 B- 4 C-5 D- 6 E- 7". The video says 4 is the correct answer and thus B is correct but this is not what the test when taken shows and thus it marks the correct answer of 4 wrong when you chose C to indicate 4.

Will 2 sections of the same kind repeat?

I have been using older PTs to create "experimental" sections to add to the three section flex PTs and was wondering if they ever give a test that has the same section repeated back to back (eg. S3 RC experimental and S4 RC). I have unintentionally done this and it seems to really affect my score on the second repeated section. Should I keep preparing for this possibility or do they make sure that tests do not have this?

Comparative Passages after PT88

I noticed that the comparative passages started at PT 52 and go only up to PT 88. Have they changed the later/most recent RC sections to not have a comparative passage? Will there be a comparative passage on future tests?

I think an easier way to approach this question is to see that it is looking for a change over time. A, C, and D make no attempt to account for the increasing decline over time. Then B requires a big assumption that even though the sciences as a whole are declining, chemistry is not declining or increasing. We can not validly assume this because we don't know anything about the parts of a whole. That leaves E which talks about change over time and then only requires a very small assumption that if something is boring then we don't want to keep doing it.

I got this wrong on the attempt and the blind review. The explanation video did not help much until I realized this approach.
