What happens if I repeatedly take chinesetest.cn mock exams in quick succession?

Yesterday, I took a mock HSK6 exam (the official one at the chinesetest.cn website).  This is probably one of the best preparation methods around.  Thus I'm tempted to take the mock exam a few times.  If I take the mock exam again today, say, will I get the exact same exam as I did yesterday?

Well, I took the HSK6 mock exam on the chinesetest.cn website a second time, and it was a totally new exam.  I'll probably use this method to prepare for the HSK6.

I kept doing this to see what would happen---see above.  No 1, 2, 3, 4 above were done within the last few weeks (No 5 was my score back in March).  Today's exam (No 1) was identical to No 3, so I took it a second time.  It looks like I've basically "used up" this resource.  It also seems they give me 65 on the writing section, no matter what.
