- Some Statistics
The exams had 40 questions (past exams mostly had 40 problems). This way, there were very few ties. A correct answer was scored with 5 points, incorrect 0, and blank 1 point. This way, there were no negative scores, and there was no advantage to either guessing or leaving an answer blank (but if one alternative could be eliminated, it was advantageous to guess). The maximum number of points possible on each exam is 200.
