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?

afair one should select “C” in that situation as it is slightly more common than the other options usually.
the idea is that this way you “make sure” that some of your answers will be correct, while if you select answers at random you might statistically get as many or more correct, you can also just miss the correct answer each time. but it is very very unlikely that a test is designed in a way that “C” would never be the correct answer for 15 consecutive questions, for example.
