Why does the CBR add extra questions to the theory exam?

The CBR writes this about the 2 test questions in the theory exam.

The CBR has been using the 2 test questions for more than five years, since March 1, 2019. According to the CBR, they conduct approximately 800,000 theory exams per year.

Then, let’s do some calculations. 800,000 times 2 test questions are 1,600,000 test questions, or 1 million 600 thousand.

Times more than 5 years is 1,600,000 x 5 = 8,000,000.

You can tell me a lot, but not that the CBR has already generated more than 8 million new questions.

The only real reason for the test questions is, in my opinion, the following. Someone who is going to take a theory exam expects 28 questions in the INSIGHT category. Then suddenly they see at the CBR that there are 30 questions. If you don’t expect there to be 30 questions, you’ll get extra nervous. Being extra nervous means being more confused, restless, and more likely to fail. Bingo for the CBR.

In any case, no one knows whether a question has been around for years, a few months, or is brand new. That’s why the CBR doesn’t have to add any test questions at all. In their own administration, they can indicate whether a question is new for the 28 INSIGHT questions.

If you know this, what would you call this mentality of the CBR?
