Failed first post audit by flagging as a duplicate. Is it correct?
It's just a duplicate that went hot before anybody found the dupe. The audit system frowns on downvoting or closing posts it picked as examples of good posts, even if they are legitimate actions. It's ...

Disagree with audit
Audits are generated automatically by the system, there is no manual human verification of them involved, as far as I know. It just takes any post it deems as good, based on the metrics it knows (vote ...

Is it wrong to comment in a "high quality post" in a review test (audit)?
Yes, you're right, it makes no sense at all that trying to add a comment causes you to fail an audit when the post is high quality. You are also right that the system does not read your comment to see ...

What happens if I flag a high-quality post in a review audit?
My question is, however, what if I had flagged this post?

Am I penalized for trying to "improve" a test edit?
Ok, you can't improve an edit like that. Reasons:
It defaces the post. Replacing Reading state information... Done with something else is not necessary. It obscures a message in the post about apt-...

Why did 'the system identify' a high quality post 'as possible spam' in review audit?
It wasn't identified as spam, on the contrary, it was identified as high quality and that's why it was used in a review audit. Review audits are there to stop "robo reviewing": people who ...

Obviously wrong answer count in review reveals it's an audit at a glance

This might not be the same audit, technically.
We got a large number of similar or identical spam/troll posts like that one. You're probably getting different ones in each audit, that look similar.

This post from 2017 suggests the vote does not get registered on the real post. If you want your vote to stick, you have to go through to the real post and vote.
I (correctly) upvoted it as a ...

How do I check if the vote I cast in review audit is actually cast on the original post?
Nothing you do in a review audit is real. I think of review audits as mock-ups based on real posts. The post score will be shown differently from the real score, the author's picture and reputation ...

First Post review test question broken
It's an audit.
It's actually based on a question that was deleted a while ago so no, you can't do anything to it. Just mark it for closure (because it was a bad question with no detail and no updates)...
