While the practice and sample materials do cover the test construct, we do trial new task types in the test in order to expand and improve the test construct. This is done during a live test as part of our live pretesting of new items. It is important that candidates try to complete these tasks to the best of their ability, but they should be reassured that their performance on these tasks does not contribute to their overall score. Once these tasks become part of the standard test construct, more sample and practice materials will become available.
