The -scenes option does not limit the reading.  It re-numbers the images
that are in memory.

To read in a specific frame use...

   display test.pdf'[0]' &

You can remotely flip the currently displayed scene using...

  display -remote test.pdf'[1]'

Or a sequence of scenes with    test.pdf'[4,5,6]'
or                              test.pdf'[7-10]'
