– When filling multiple choice bubbles at random why only go with 1 letter?

357 views

It’s a tip I hear often and I don’t quite understand.
If the time is nearly up and you have to fill in answers for multiple choice, A,B,C,D for example. Why would you only go with ‘A’?
You should get around 25% of the answers correct but no proper test is ever going to have ‘A’ as correct answer many times in a row.

Would it not be marginally better to just pick at random?
Why not?

Edit: I understand real world is rarely truly random, but is my thinking here correct given answers are randomly distributed?

If you guess randomly (CBADBA or whatever), it’s possible to be unlucky enough to get every guess wrong.

If you guess AAAAA, you basically guarantee that about 20% of them are correct.
