Partly checked. None of the 30 questions here has been read against the cited source by a person. 30 questions have been checked against their cited clause by an automated pass — which is not the same thing, and is not a signature.
Only questions a person has signed for are used in mock exams here. That is the whole difference between the two kinds of checking above.

They break down as 19 single-answer questions, 5 choose-several questions and 6 type-the-answer questions.
