  Presence of comparative reading and substitution LG question means post-December 2008. Past that it's impossible to know for sure, although the difficulty of the substitution question is suggestive. My hunch is Feb 2009 (PT 56.5), though Feb 2010 is also a possibility (59.5).
  
  C2 stands for Test C from SuperPrep 2, as far as I know, so yes.

  Its also surrounded by PT 62, PT 63 so I guessed it was in the 60s range, but could also be from what Jonathon has shared. Its a mystery! Its funny we haven't been able to nail it down for sure yet. Is it possible it could be a Sabbath test from around that time @"Jonathan Wang" and thats why it hasn't been confirmed yet?

  The only reason we know the SuperPrep 1 test dates is because they disclosed them in the book on release; they didn't in SuperPrep 2 as far as I know. So it could be a Sabbath test, a February test, a test given only to people with income >$500,000, a test given only to people named Alex...who knows.
  
  I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it were February 2011 either now that I think about it, as that would make it test 62.5, right between 62 and 63. I just think the substitution questions in 62 and 63 were a bit more developed than the one in C2; C2's struck me as an early attempt at a crude substitution question not unlike PT57's attempt.
  
  Another consideration though is that PT60 didn't have a substitution question, the only test to lack a substitution question (I think) since they introduced the question type in PT57. I've long speculated that PT60 was put together before PT57-59 were (hence the lack of a substitution question) but was administered after for whatever reason (hence the breaking of the pattern before re-establishing immediately from 61 onward without fail). This one may be similar - administered later, but written earlier.
  
  Anyhow, speculation is fun, but ultimately it's impossible to say until they straight up tell us. Probably the best thing we can do in the meantime is to call it a 'modern' test and leave it at that.
