"Experimental Questions" are not easy or difficult questions, they are simply "New Questions" that means with no feedback or little feedback so they don't count in your final score. They build the question feedback based on many factors, like level of diff., time consumed, etc. Once they have enough information based on student feedback the experimental question may integrate the official pool. When you take the test, the computer (based on a great program) select questions among a pool following bell shaped curve of difficulty, time consuming, % of every subject, etc (all characteristics built by thousands of students in the experimental phase). So basically everybody has a little % of really difficult questions (those answered correctly by a little % of the population) as well as a little % of super easy questions (those answered correctly by most of the people) and of course most of the questions are kind of normal or intermediate level of difficulty, again the difficulty is base on the feedback as well as passing score and everything. So don't worry, there's no surprises when you take your test. You are going to have a fair test constructed by a computer program which follows precise instructions in order to pick up your questions with the same "formula". The computer doesn't choose your questions "randomly", in fact computers don't know how to do "random". "Random" is in fact a human word and means the human incapacity to predict a phenomenon. So I think there are not “lucky numbers” and that is what it makes this test so fair.
Finally I would like to say “study hard and do your best”, instead of “good luck”, since you don’t need “luck”, nothing in this test is by chance.
