You run the risk of simpler questions being selected for that 50
question exam. It is easier.
I said the material was combined. I did not say that the question pools
were combined verbatim. Instead, a new question pool is/was developed that
covers the combined material. The "simpler" versions of the questions
aren't used. For example, the Tech test might ask a question such as what
is the approximate length of a quarter wave vertical for the 10m band while
the General test would have a question that is much more specific like what
is the calculated length for a quarter wave vertical for 28.300. The
question on the Tech test would have choices that would be enough different
that you would not have to actually calculate the exact value. The question
on the General test would have at least two of choices close enough together
that you would have to calculate the value. Let us say they combined the
Tech and General. The approximate question would never be considered for
the new pool.
Therefore there is no risk of getting "simpler" questions when the material
is combined.

Dee, you really need to let it go...
