Good point. It would be fun to go through one of these exams for real & see how little one could know & still pass it. I suspect that one could know very little. But the folks in the exam-prep business (Kaplan, etc.) have much more time on their hands to work on this problem. At 08:33 AM 5/16/2006, franktaw@netscape.net wrote:
One of the standard tricks in multiple choice tests is, when the answers are numbers, choose one of the middle values instead of one of the outside values. A quick perusal showed 21 of these questions had numbers for answers; of those, 14 had one of the middle values as the correct answer. So you can get almost 1/3 right (some questions weren't numeric) using just this one rule, without knowing anything about the subject matter.
