Assignment:
A correction-for-guessing formula can be used to deter students from randomly answering test questions. A student's score that has been corrected for guessing will be equal to the number of questions answered incorrectly divided by the number of answer choices for an item minus 1 and, then, this amount subtracted from the total number of right answers.
For example, in a 50-item multiple-choice test where there are 4 possible answers and a student gets 44 answers correct, the student's score would be 44 - 6/3 = 42. The student's score, corrected for guessing, is 42. When this formula is used, students should be encouraged to make educated guesses and to avoid randomly selecting answers.
