So i did this for one of my SAT's and now i did it for my Physics 111 class. I simply take a D10 (10 sided dice for you who don't know) and i roll it to decide my answers on the scantron sheets. Blind faith in the Dice has never lead me wrong (I got a 9 out of 15 on todays exam & a 1350 out of 1600 on that SAT) so i was wondering if anyone else does the same? Do you guys have some sort of back up ritual or lucky object to get you through things? |

Pfft... my method of testing well (3.6 GPA without studying or homework) was... showing up highly confident, unreasonably so that bordered on delusional arrogance. Making fun of the people who were nervous. And then taking the test and answering the questions the way I felt they SHOULD be answered. It got me through 2 engineering degrees and most of the way through the 3rd. This may not work for people who aren't naturally intelligent however. As the advice when given didn't usually work for other people. But for those people, I like your dice idea. However I don't see how it's better than just picking letters totally at random without even reading the questions. |

on multiple choice questions I look for patterns in which letter is the answer. like i never answer three A's in a row, and if i do, i know at least one is wrong. | ||

Holy crap Cha!! Dice dude????!!!!! I've never heard of that. We always just resorted to pure guessing or just putting C on the scantron sheets. Leaving it all to the dice huh? Well shit, if it works for you man than stay with it. LOLs!!

If there are only 4 possible answers and you have a 10 sided dice, then shit in one hand and hope in the other and see which gets filled first.  Or roll the dice and if an even number shows up, eliminate A and C. Make B = even and D = odd then roll again for the final answer.  |

I'm pretty sure using some common sense would be much more profitable than rolling a die. And I beat you on the SAT, so I win. Because SAT means everything. Everyone knows that. | ||
