intuition and test taking

I have been doing this course in quantum mechanics that has multiple choice testing. After reading the text they give you 4 questions. I can barely understand what they are talking about with neutron spin etc. but I take my best shot. As is often advised, go with your first choice. It's statistically your best chance. I find it amazing how true this can be. I read the 4 statements and see one I like and again I can barely comprehend the stuff. But then if I go with my second guess it'll be wrong and my first choice will be the right one. There must be to some degree intuition guiding.

Probably. On other hand that's why multiple choice is a great means of propaganda. They sit you down to a test, give you a question which is wrong and by intuitively selecting the 'correct' answer you are taught to accept the truth of both the answer and the question - when both can be false.

To be honest though I've tried that and.... bad results for me! I've tried doing those psychic tests and I always get a low score. I just rely on my cognitive skills. Maybe my intuition isn't that good.

hm, that's an interesting issue, but you know it doesn't work for me. sometimes it did, but it's just a coincidence. so such as an experiment, it's ok, but not for taking the important exam. wish you good luck!
