For example, when you're doing a test on a scantron. How many Es (or any other letter) in a row do you have to get before you start to get concerned?

heh I'll have to remember this the next time I give a test. Although I'm not much of a multiple "guess" guy when it comes to writing tests.

Maybe I'm just OC, but I always prefer the multiple choice tests that I take to have a fairly equal distribution of answers. Of course, it all depends on if I'm actually marking down the correct answers in the first place, but if in the end there are, for example, a lot more Cs than there are As, Bs, or Ds... it bugs me.

In high school, i had this anatomy teacher that gave us a scantron test. In one part, the answers was B for 15 choices in a row. I failed that test.....

I wouldn't look at that at ALL. I had a teacher make 21 in a row, A, B, C, repeat x7. Plus if it's random, 4-5 in a row is possible.

I never worried about this kind of stuff when I was in school. I thought about it but never let it bug me. I trusted my knowledge and ability and let the nswers fall where they may. Second guessing almost always nets you the wrong answer. Trust yourselves and just take the damn test.

4 in a row I get suspicious. I also get concerned when I have like 30 answers so far and I haven't answered one of the letters at all yet. Like they've all been A's C's or D's but no B's. I know it's all random but I can't help but think about it.
