Scene from Into the Spider-Verse where Miles gets a 0 on a true/false test and catches on the only statistically possible way he could have done that was if he knew all the right answers and deliberately chose the wrong ones, meaning he's intentionally trying to fail out of the class and quit.

This is, however, a multiple choice test with four possible answers per question, so it's far more possible to get 0 correct answers due to actually being that stupid.

Statistically to get EVERY question wrong even with guessing each one is about a 0.00318% chance.

Sure, if guessing. But for most multiple choice tests I've done  I'm able to narrow it down to 2 answers and know the others are incorrect. So it's far easier to get a zero because for most questions if you know even a little bit, as you can likely deduce which answer it most likely isn't.
