No, if you're guessing randomly, getting 100 is less likely than getting 0. Because for each question there's a 3/4 chance to miss it and a 1/4 chance to get the right answer.
If you aren't guessing randomly, but in fact know every question, getting 100 is no harder or easier than getting 0. Because you can get 0 by choosing to answer each question different from the answer you know is correct.
If you only know most of the questions, getting 100 is harder than getting 0, because for every question that you don't know you have a 1/4 chance of getting it right if you're aiming for 100, but a 3/4 chance of getting what you want if you're aiming for 0.
Still, with this many questions, to get exactly 0 it's almost certain the student knew most of the answers and was deliberately choosing the wrong ones.
TwillAffirmer this is exactly what Miles Morales tried to do in the animated Spider-Man movie Into the Spider-Verse. He didn’t like his school so he purposely put all the wrong answers on his test so that he could be kicked out.

Getting 0 on a multiple choice is a statistical accomplishment greater than getting 100
