You might get 5 passages on reading instead of 3, or 3 listening sections instead of 2. It happens because ETS is testing the difficulty of questions for the future tests. After gathering this statistics, they establish these questions as "original" for next generation of takers. Therefore, the if you have 5 passages instead of 3, two of them will not count, but you will not know which ones.
