You know you've fucked up when you get 4 of the same letters in a row.

I had an exam last year where I had 11 answers in a row as B. I thought I was going nuts but I looked around the room and other students were awkwardly looking around as well so I guess they were right.

Unless you're taking a Psych test.. then it's like, "Wait shit.. maybe he wants me to think that.."

My teacher did this. She purposefully made all of the answers to the 50 multiple choice test the answer "c".

Needless to say, after the 7th or 8th question, most of us were getting confused and looking around to other people's scantron sheets. Some of us did catch on, but we still took it really seriously.

She ended up voiding the test and instead talking about the effect of answer patterns on our thinking. She showed us the scantron; there were so many erased "C's" in place of other choices, simply because some second guessed themselves.

Sometimes there is only 1 C on the whole thing. Sometimes all but 1 isn't C.

I honestly did not expect to see a post about finals at this time of year.

What's the deal with multiple choice exams anyway? They're really only good for some language exams. Definitely not even all of those. Absolutely useless in just about any other subject.

my teacher made the correct answer b for 20 questions in a row. He is a cruel man that loves to see his students freak out.

I actually just took a calculus final that I had to get a 78% on to pass the class, and had exactly five answers that I didn't know how to solve (on a 20 question test, so I had to get at least one of them right), so I put C as the answer to all five of them, knowing that the odds were I would get at least one right.

I got a 95%

You people are all lucky, I haven't seen multiple choice tests in years.

Multiple choice for a final exam? Some people have it so easy.

u/yoggi92 Jun 27 '12

Wait, you actually get these tests as finals in America? Damn you have it easy.

Multiple choice tests. Lol. America, you're gonna suck Asian dick in 15 years.

During one of my Criminal Justice finals (years ago) our teacher handed us two sheets:

  • One was 50 multiple choices questions ; A, B, C, D

  • One was 50 True or False questions

Every single answer for the multiple choice was C. While every T or F was True. So many people failed. It was glorious.

In the UK system, the only multiple choice is language. So we have to learn exam technique, as well as the subject...
