Elimination is the best strategy. I also see tests with double barrelled answers where the choices are, 1) and 2) If you look at the combinations, and the choices you can eliminate several, since they can’t list all of the possobile combinations

Most standardized tests are computer generated so the answers are shuffled so they are different each time. BUT – some high school tests that a teacher makes up, or College tests that are made by the teacher MAY have a tendency to have choice #3 as correct more often. The statistics of that would be very tough to make it a reliable guide though. There might be a 60% that choice #3 is the correct answer, so you would have a very slight advantage to guess #3.

a lot of students fail multiple choice exams because they do not read all the options. You really have to read all the choices before making your choice. Remember the choices are designed to confuse so don’t fall into the trap – think clearly and work slowly, carefully and methodically.

Predicting that every questions will have the same answer for multiple choice is a very risky strategy. you have 1 in 4 chances anyway, and usually much higher if you can eliminate 1 or even 2 choices. For more info on Multiple Choice strategy see Multiple Choice Secrets

I heard somewhere that the answer is likely to be C on 1-4 multiple choice questions. Thats what my teachers always talked about when we prepped for a Cat9 or SAT exam.
