Although I have no trouble with the logic that says that guessing can't
hurt, the assumption is that, if you do not know the answer, guessing will
be random with respect to the correct answers. However, it has been my
experience that it is not that difficult to create questions for which one
incorrect answer is much more likely to be chosen by those who do not "know"
the correct answer. Many standardized tests I have seen make use of comon
errors in their distractor items. If the Psych test does this, then
guessing would not necessarily be the best option, since I assume most
guessers will make what appears to them a "best" guess, rather than a random
choice. I really do not know if this applies to the test in question, does
anyone else?
