| Do you believe in this one: When you see a test that has multiple choices, and the right answer is only 1, (e.g. 4 choices, 1 correct choice.) the correct answer is usually at the 2nd or 3rd choice. Discuss. |
| I've heard about something like this before. Apparently people tend not to make their first option the correct one because they subconsciously feel it's to exposed, and thus end up usually making the choice in the middle the correct one. Liar Game has so much cool stuff to learn. |

| not to boast but i am actually very good at this topic (give 3 paper like those every week and never know the answer :P ) well it depends on who made the paper there are many time i have seen that around 50 percent of the answer to be one of the 4 means that in a 200 ques the answer is 2 or 3 for around 70-110 sometime teacher who make the question writes the answer in first then thinks of other options the same if teacher want to confuse they usually write the ans in 2 or 3 mostly some think of other options first and then write the right one in the last |

Monstrum said: And that's how the test maker feels too, so they usually won't put the same answer more than three times consecutively.

| My Science teacher in 10th grade gave us an exam that was full multiple choice and all the correct answers were A. Nobody got a perfect score because we all thought it was impossible that all the answers were A xD |

Monstrum said: No because the answers could have been decided with RNG.

| the correct answer is always C seriously i had a chemistry pop quiz where literally all 6 answers were C |

| I feel like no one here studies test-taking theory.. which is to eliminate wrong answers and then gamble between the remaining choices. If you are answering.. A A A A and then the next oen seems to be A as well when you eliminate wrong answers, then it's just as likely one of the previous A's is wrong as it is that the current A is wrong, so changing any of them has just as much chance of being wrong if you don't have solid justification for the answers. So, A is the answer - and you shouldn't have spent time thinking about it. You should mark and advance as quickly as possible making a mental note of that section to reexamine - and possibly do any "hard math" (or what have you) that is needed to come to real answers for that section AFTER completing the rest of the test. |
| If in doubt and the answers are in English, pick the longest answer. If it's which one of these 4 things are false (or true), and only two answers are contradictory, it must be one of those two. I use rules like that instead of trying to blindly predict the pattern. |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| paying attention to the order of the answers whatsoever is the way of the layman who did not study or is not intelligent enough to infer the correct answer from the available information. |

| usually there is one decoy very wrong answer and one seemingly but deceptive wrong answer that could be right but its often similar to the very wrong answer. So its a game of which is not like the others. I used to do fairly well with this even if i had no clue what the right answer is. |

| Well what if you are to pick 4 cards in hand, and you must guess where is the right card. This is pure guessing. But do you believe that usually the right card is in the 3rd or in the 2nd one? |
| The diversity of choices is tricking you to believe that one of the options is the right one. Where I come from sometimes none of the options were right, a trick question to filter out people who made wild guess. |
