Exam strategy

When is a guess worth it?

With four options, a blind guess earns nothing on average. Rule out even one option and every guess starts paying. We train elimination on every mock.

ABCD
Blind guess (1 in 4)±0.00 per guess
ABCD
One option ruled out (1 in 3)+0.33 per guess
ABCD
Two ruled out (1 in 2)+1.00 per guess

Assumes four options per question. Expected marks = 3 × P(correct) − 1 × P(wrong).
