Multiple choice tests where you could, at worst, rule out 2 of 4 answers and have a 50/50 shot on a guess.
Be careful of such things. Not all MCQ exams are scored by counting up the number of right answers; some have negative scores for some answers, and some even require that you get critical questions right or it is an instant fail. They probably ought to tell you if this is what is going on…
I had to do a phsyics test once, where the scoring worked like this:
- Every "question" consists of 5 true/false statements
- You get 0.2 points for a correct answer
- You get -0.2 points for an incorrect answer
- You get 0 points for no answer.
So at the end, 5 correct answers is worth 1 point. Most of the questions were like this:
a) Statement (T/F)
b) Some other statement (T/F)
c) Yet another statement (T/F)
d) Moar statement (T/F)
e) Soar mtatement (T/F)
But then one of them was this:
Assuming the experiment is set up like that and the constants are this and this, what is the value of this variable?
a) 0.2 (T/F)
b) 0.4 (T/F)
c) 0.6 (T/F)
d) 0.8 (T/F)
e) 1.2 (T/F)
So you could say all 5 are false and still get 0.6 points.

@dkf That reminds me of a teleconference I was in once with a company in… I forget the country, but their accent made 'check-in' sound like 'chicken'. At one point, a couple of my cow-orkers at the time actually had to leave the room, they were that close to cracking
I kept my composure throughout.
I recently heard a story where someone was teleconferencing with Canadian colleagues, the work was very stressing, and time to time this is what they would hear:
KEEP FUCK US!
After a while they worked up the nerve to ask what the problem is, and it turned out that's how a Canadian pronounces
Keep focus!
