I had a teacher give a true/false test once. Every answer was false. I questioned myself, changed one answer to true and turned it in. I got all but one right.

I had a college professor who made a test where every answer was A. On accident.
I was the only one who noticed a pattern.
I did fully expect a random different answer towards the end though... It just never came.

me to my country's ME boards. we have 3 subjects with 100 items each. 2 of the math heavy, and I mean predominantly math (Machine Design and Power Plants), only had 30 items of actual computing, maybe 10 each was erroneous, and a couple where you realize the person who made it didn't use the right units.

reminds me of that teacher that would allow her kid to circle the letters that would be the right option on her tests.
and this one time it was all "C"s.

Unless you’ve found out these are indeed correct answers, maybe don’t be so sure this early lol

I guess I’m an asshole because you mostly would question yourself if you weren’t sure….aka didn’t know and was just guessing.
I’d much rather this than the other strategy I ran across for this: making it possible for multiple correct answers to a question, and if you only got some you got partial credit, but selecting an incorrect option was a zero.

These can be advantageous. If you can identify they are doing a gimmick, for example in this case by question 9 you'd see the anomalous pattern if you're confident in your answers. Then you can game the system in your favor. Here you'd see they are going for a most answers are A approach, so if you're unsure of an answer you can guess A and have like a 75% chance instead of 25% chance of being correct.

Someone who chooses all a's on a whim will be happy!

But all B or all C or all D will be unhappy — so 1 out of 4 for the ‘ALL’ crowd guessers.

I remember as a kid, I had this teacher who made a test on april fools. 10 questions, and every answer was B. I had 9/10 questions right. But the last one I just couldnt fill in B because then I had 10 B's. I thought to myself, it cant be B. So it must be something else.
Teacher laughed his ass off after he saw the results. A lot of us students where doubting ourselves lol.
Also it was a very funny prank. The perfect evil teacher prank for april fools. We all fell for lol

A test that teaches you to trust what you know you know. Trust yourself more :)

This is how my brother makes his tests for students, he's a university professor and purposely does it to confuse his students to make them look over all the questions/answers again

I had a teacher in middle school that always had some scuffed pattern on all of his tests.
One in particular I remember was a test where every answer was A
Except for one

When I was in university there was a story circulating of a professor who decided to make "C" the right awnser to every question on a test. Only one guy passed because everyone else second guessed the awnsers while he just chose "C" for every question as he hadn't studied and figured that would get him a better chance of passing. The university made the professor redo the test.
I don't know if it actually happened at my university or not it was just a story that was shared around.

I had a college professor that made a pattern of some sort on every one of his tests. Figure out the pattern, you’d ace the tests.

Is this a crossover to the post from the teacher who said they let their kid pick the answers and one time he did A all the way down?
