Rick-
I think that the things you say are consistent with
the advice in books on "How to take...". Have you looked at any of
these?

I guess my point is that not-using a guessing penalty and in fact
encouraging guessing is INCONSISTENT with the advice. My advice IS--work
carefully even if that means slowly, and when they annouce 1 minute left,
mark 'C' for any questions you haven't answered. BUT--how many students
will do it that way? The strong temptation IS to BE SURE to look at
EVERY QUESTION and take a guess and that means--WORK QUICKLY (and knowing
students--haphazardly)!
