Combination circuit help

Unfortunately, most exams like this are electronically graded and your written in answer would not be logged. But at least it wouldn't be counted wrong; usually in order to discourage blind guessing there is more of a penalty for answering incorrectly than for not answering at all. The scoring I have often seen is R - W/4 for exams with five choice questions. That way if you don't answer a single question or if you guess randomly on each one, you get a zero score either way.

Didn't know that. I thought a blank and wrong were the same weight so that a guess would increase your chances of a higher score.

For the professional level tests I've taken, that has always been the case for questions with multiple-choice answers.

I had an EE class in college where the instructor's exams (a total of four for the semester counting the final) were just 5 questions long - the right answer was worth 20 points and a wrong answer was worth -5 points. You could make a negative score, which averaged in like any other grade. It was brutal.
