RC Passage Order - Which are the Hardest?

I have the impression that passages 3/4 tend to be more difficult than 1/2 - does anyone know if this is the case? Or am I just projecting because I tend to be stressing out as the clock runs by this time?

If 3 & 4 are, in fact, more difficult, would anyone recommend doing them first? Then going back and hitting 1& 2?

    There's no set rule, at least in more recent PTs. For example, in PT 81, the second passage was hardest, and the first passage was probably the second hardest.

    I think typically it has been the 3rd and 4th. But in recent years they have started to make it a bit more random
