Re quizzing our studyplan

Hey there, I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. When I get my Studyplan, I go through the list, often will be something like "kept 8, here's two new topics" and so will do the new lessons and then go to the longer test. I have pressed "Test Recommended again" at the top as well as the "test again" at the bottom of the results page. When I do this, I will often get questions on topics I have not yet studied. Why is this??

In the exercise quelques livres is translated as a couple of books as well as some books. In English I was always taught that strictly "couple" means two and it's a misuse to use it otherwise. Can you explain why quelques therefore translates as some and two? Thank you.

Overuse of le futur antérieurI don't see any reason to strain for the futur antérieur when there is no change in subject. It sounds unnatural. Maybe I talk with the wrong French people.
