Are the RC questions on the real DAT in order at all?

As I am using Crack the DAT Reading, I notice that the questions are somehow in order. For example, questions 4-6 can be answered after reading paragraph 3. The only questions that are asked at the end but require details from the beginning paragraphs are those "which of the following is not challenged by the passage?" questions. Because of this question pattern, I am able to read the first 7 questions, go back to the passage, read the rest of the questions, and go back.
I heard people said that the questions on the real DAT are not in order at all. Does it mean that question 1 can be answered after reading paragraph 2, but question 2 can be answered only after reading paragraph 6, then for question 12, you have to go back to paragraph 3 for answer? How much are the questions in order?
Can someone clarify this for me?
 
I just took the DAT yesterday and unfortunately they are not... but some back to back questions can occasionally be referring to the same paragraph
