Hello Anthony.
Just a note when I saw "You will receive 4 questions via the computer and
you must..." I immediately thought that you can either get 4 or 5. But then
you mention that later on.
Also, I heard that you can miss one, but only when you get 5 questions, not
4. And that 5th question is a "beta question" like we are used to from
theoretical exams when new content is being tested.
Not sure how much of that are rumors/true.
