I've got a question on the Vocab section. On item #26, the answer lacks the distinction of ocurring over time, though it does talk about the other distinction. Does that mean that it stays in the one point scoring area, or is the one distinction enough? I would think that the over time distinction would be important, but maybe I'm getting too picky... (this is also a hard question to write without giving away the answer...)

In situations like these, compare the meaning of the answer given to all the options. You may well find that the answer is more conceptually similar to some examples in a 2-point, 1-point, or 0-point category, whether or not they use the same exact words. So, for instance, compare this answer not only to the ones using the same verb, but also to the other answers. Note also if the temporal component is explicit or merely implied in all the 2-point answers.
P.S. You are absolutely right that it is difficult to write about test questions without including the actual material, but you did this quite well. It may help to remember that we all have the question and access to the scoring materials, so you can get away with being less explicit.
