PU LLB entrance negative marking — should you guess?
A simple expected-value approach to guessing when the paper has negative marking, and how to set your attempt target.
Check the current rule
Confirm the marking scheme in the latest official notice; see our PU LLB entrance page.
When guessing pays
If you can eliminate two of four options, an educated guess usually has positive expected value. A blind guess with a penalty usually does not.
Set a target
Use mock data: attempt the number of questions at which your accuracy stays above roughly 80%.
