If you can't opt out of the dumb-dumb version regardless of your answers to previous questions then the test is rigged. Not only would it not be directly comparable to previous test years, it would not be comparable to other versions of the test. Defeating the entire point (ranking students)

There are valid criticisms to be made, but flippantly calling the test 'rigged' is not constructive.
