Random Guessing...
I'm just curious, has anyone ever taken a test and did more then 75% of the test with straight guesses? And if so, what was your end score?
I am thinking about taking a dante, just a random one that I don't need and spending 15mins on it just guessing out of curiousity to what my score would be. Does anyone have any advice on how to guess, ie picking the longest explanation, picking all answer "C's, looking for key words in the question ect... Before you ask, I do get to take these exams for free, and I would only be doing this after I take an exam that I have actually studied for and would just do it afterwards for fun.

I took the Chemistry with all guesses. Well, I took Chemistry in college and AP Chemistry in high school, so finding the answer wasn't that hard. Some had significant figures issues, some where blantanly wrong, and others "just felt" wrong. I here that World Religions is pretty cake and taken ice cold, but you already have that one.

Interesting, well I will see what happens, I plan on doing it with a test that I know I want use or need, maybe it will also help with some feedback for those who plan on taking the test. Chemistry is very hard, I don't think I would even get close with guesses lol.

Here's another question to add into this thread, let's say you have a question, you have no idea what the answer is....
How do the test takers here personally decide on which answer to pick?

I really don't worry about the questions I have no idea about.... at first I try to figure them out - then I'm like "I have no idea what this means!" and just pick an answer.

The Christmas tree technique is where you systematically choose the answers (from the filling in of circles) randomly i.e. C,A,B,B,A,A,C,C,C
