Nooo, open-ended is good!
Just find enough big words to be properly ambiguous, and you'll be fine.

D@*n multiple choice. 
Lol.
Let's see... humanity is inherently flawed. Maybe that'll help me out somewhat.
Grr... relational viewpoint social psych is tricky.
A lot of it is about "the issues" that people talk about precisely because they are supposedly "afraid to ever address them" in conversation, or so the thing goes, but then the theory behind it sort of makes some things want to go and get itself turned on its ear, so to speak. 
Like, I know that cognitive dissonance has to do with how a person does not lie to feel that they are contradicting themself.
There's one.
*Shrug*
Hmm...

I just hope you're not wriing your tests like this...
It's a bit, umm 
incoherent.

19 still isn't much better.
Oh well...
Process of elimination and so on... ...
If there's less choices left by taking out the obviously (& pretty sure are) bogus ones, that might leave a more likely chance of findiong the correct ones.
Standardized testing is evil.
Ev-il...
Evil!

Fortunately it's not a writing one.
Writing to entertain isn't that much of a bother.
Writing to work an idea-point's not either, provided there is enough time to find stuff & set-up a good case.
Hmm...

I thought I wouldn't pass, but then I got an 82%.
Things do tend out to be opposite from how expected, but in a not easy to control type way. So that it is easier to fail when convinced there is not an otherwise, etc. etc. 
It's seldom just that simple though.

I know how that is. After the exams I often think I don't pass and then have a grade that's quite ok... unfortunatley it also happens the other way round.

My solution to that is to always assume I did bad. The only negative side effect is crippling self-esteem problems.

I did that for a long time.

My self-esteem is something that I scrape back together what's left of, and then try things again once it's been reassembled close enough.
*Shrug*
...Sometimes.
But does your self-esteem come with the interactive green-glow panel section, the eyes that move, and the ...
Joking, joking. I was making as though the self-esteem were a collectible toy-product.
