Best Answer

Most people believe that the most frequent answer is "B." I have not found any legitimate studies that confirm or deny this. However, it seems pretty consistent with my experience with High School, College, and Graduate exams.

What strategy is used for multiple choice questions?

This one is for free: stay tuned at the end though.Go with your gut. If that fails, narrow it down by elimination. Failing that, continue below.It is easier to write a false statement than a true one for a test, so about 60% of true/false test questions will be false.About 70% of all multiple choice answers will be a middle choice. So, for five choices, 3 or C will be the answer. For four choices, 2 or B, or 3 or C will be the answer, and the third choice is most common.In the event one option is "all of the above" about 75% of the time this is the answer. "None of the above is 50% or less.These strategies only work if the test designer is not aware of the human behavior normal in test design. Being one of those people, my assessments were one third true/false divided 50/50; one third multiple choice of only four options and those were divided into 25% for A, B, C, & D; and one third essay.Take notes and study.

When test instructions say to Answer the multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks if known Does it mean to fill in the blanks only if known but answer all questions?

A test instruction that says, "Answer the multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks if known" could be very confusing to students (and students should ask for clarification before continuing the test). It should be written more clearly as, "Answer the multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks" because most often you are expected to answer all questions on a test. NOTE: If you ever see this on a standardized test, ASK before you start that section.

Does a multiple choice test question asking for the MOST likely answer eliminate all of the above as a correct answer?

It should. However, multiple choice questions are so widely used and copied that many of them are faulty in several ways, including the addition of all of the above and none of the above.The driving force behind multiple choice questions is the relative ease of scoring them, compared to written answers or even fill-in-the-blank. They often do not provide an adequate assessment of the student's knowledge of the subject.
