Well statistically speaking, you should be able to get 25% (if the answers have 4 choices) just by guessing. If you can eliminate some of the wrong answers from the questions using educated guessing. Unless the test is very well designed in such a way that it is not immediately apparent which questions are wrong, a person should easily be able to get a higher then 25% score.
