Stochastic Simulation of Test Results with Guessing


	Multiple-choice exam? I will guess! Multiple-choice questions are objective and can easily and quickly be scored. But an item is often scored as solved simply because the test taker is a lucky guesser. This Demonstration shows the accumulated scores for some test takers.
