🎓 Standard rules

JEE Main: +4 / −1 · NEET: +4 / −1 · UPSC: +2 / −0.66 · CA: +2 / −0.50.

🤔 To guess or not?

Guess only when you can rule out at least two options — blind guessing usually loses marks.

📊 Break-even math

With 4 choices and −1, a random guess nets zero in expectation. Eliminating one option flips it positive.
