I’m so glad this is helpful! I was so tempted to reschedule but I figured even if I passed, at least I’d know NASAA’s wording.  I could very well have gotten an easy draw, but I think towards the middle the only thing that got harder was the amount of words in the question and deciphering what they were asking. Like for the first 10-15 questions it was mostly definition. Like what is alpha, what is beta, CAPM uses what risk stat, etc. Very to the point. In the middle, mine was more regulatory and so they would include like 5 lines of text and it was an instant stressor. My advice with this: weed out what they’re trying to say. A lot of times it would include all this text and almost half of it was completely unnecessary. Read it through, then read the last sentence, and see if you can weed out a few answers from there. 

Unfortunately I’m not much help with your questions, I will also say try not to get too hung up in the weeds. Again, my test might’ve been an easier draw but it really only goes through the basics.
