No, the whole point of the ramp test is that it is standardised.
You always start at the same point (typically 100 or 150w depending on the test protocol) and the target power increases at a constant rate. You "simply" ride at the (increasing) target power until you cannot continue to sustain that power.
I suspect because you FTP is always relatively similar.
