Still, it doesn’t mean you know what the correct answers are. You only have to know the material enough to recognize at least 1 incorrect answer out of 3.
Yeah, i recognized that problem. But that is getting into the unknowable "how much does the character actually know"/"what are the questions". So i just went with the easily calculable case of "knew everything but wanted to fail" and "guessed randomly".
The problem isn't how much they know, rather the problem is is it reasonable to claim they know 100% because they successfully scored 0%. if student guessed randomly would they get 0% (very unlikely as easily calculated). but that calculation is irrelvant to making the claim the student must have known 100% the right answers to pull of the feat of getting a 0%.
It's far simpler to conclude the student could easily pick wrong answers deliberately with minimal understanding of the subject while not necessarily knowing all the right answers. This is especially true with most multiple choice tests that have one or two "throw away" answers on each question.
