Re: Psych GRE: guess/multiple choice strategies

[Drnanjo]

Stephen,

I am going to argue with your logic:

25 item multiple choice section 1 for correct; 0 for blank; ¼point deduction
for wrong answer.

 (All completed) 15Correct;  10 incorrect  ( 2.5 points deducted) 15 points
minus   2.5 = 12.5 raw score.

(All not completed) 15 correct, 5 guessed wrong. 5 left blank…15 points,
minus 1.25 deducted = 13.75 raw score

This seems to be self-evident to me, at least on an individual basis.  
Perhaps it does not hurt on a group level, especially if you work for the
College Board and ETS. But if you are seeing something here that I am missing
due to my obvious personal bias, or undetected stupidity on my own part,
please point it out to me now. I like to think I have a good command of
logic, too.
