These are not discrepancies.
Labs are included in the exam if you have a computer that has the resources to run them and an internet connection fast enough. If you have a lab then you will have fewer of the other types of questions.
It does appear that in February the evaluation of your computer/internet were incorrect, and this should have been addressed by Microsoft/Pearson Vue as it does sound as if you did suffer.
As for scheduled breaks, dstarkowski is correct, you will not be able to revisit any question you had seen before the break.

Hi Julian. When I raised the issue about the February SC-300 exam, both PearsonVue and Microsoft support would not address the issues I encountered. Either they could not find the errors in the workstation or Azure logs, or they did not explore further than a blanket response.
I am usually very detailed oriented in reading any agreements I have to sign/approve, so the break aspects were very new to me. It was a bad day for me on 8 May exam day, where the taxi never showed up and I had to basically run from my work site to the exam center, which was half hour away by foot. So, I wasn't the best of shape and had to go to the bathroom twice to cool off. --George
