That could be fixed with the right scoring scheme in training. The SAT exam (for college-bound high school students in the US) used a scheme like this for multiple choice questions. Correct answers are awarded 3 points (with choices a,b,c,d), incorrect answers are penalized with -1 point, and leaving the answer blank (equivalent to "I don't know") is worth 0 points. This way, the expected value of guessing a random answer when the student doesn't know is 0 points so you might as well leave it blank if your confidence in the answer is no better than a random guess. |
