Consistency Test
I understand that consistency (as a concept) is still fair game, but the Bahnemann text does not reference a test. Are the Consistency Test questions in the BattleTable and BattleCards for Chapter 6 still applicable?

Yes, the consistency test question are still applicable. While the Bahnemann text does not have anything explicitly labeled as the "consistency test", it does describe how to test on pages 170-171. Further, exercise 6.10 asks you to compute the layer factors for a table of limits to demonstrate inconsistency which is an application of the consistency test.
Thanks! I talked myself into the same answer shortly after posting. That said, I'm not sure I would have been able come up with the marginal rate formula (used in the wiki examples and prior exam questions) on the spot just based on the current text. It's simple enough that I understand it, but the text doesn't really address what to do when successive layers don't have constant width.
