Hi guys, just looking to get your feedback during a quick light rant.

Just by looking at this, I bet you can tell me the right answer.

Well, the answer is B. It seems like 4/5 Q-Bank questions I do in this fashion, I can automatically disregard the lone wolf in each column and get the right answer.

For example, I can automatically cross out C, because $12,125,000 is different, and I can cross out A because $65,000 is different.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still doing the problem, but I don't want to fall into this habit of randomly picking, because I know its not going to be like that come exam time.

Anyone else noticing a similar trend, or have I perhaps just caught an unfortunate streak today?

I've noticed something similar alright. Questions with 2 parts often have answers with two of the same answers in options A - C. I try not to disregard C (as in example above) immediately without getting the logic of why it's not the corrent answer or on the other hand why option B is the correct answer

I've noticed it, too.

It's annoying - especially when it's BLATANTLY obvious like it is with so many questions.

Maybe that has something to do with the 46% pass rate for June.

Did you guys notice if the "obvious" answer was the correct choice in June?

That's not always the case. Here's an exception:

Question 93776:

Renee Fisher invests $2,000 each year, starting one year from now, in a retirement account. If the investments earn 8% or 10% annually over 30 years, the amount Fisher will accumulate is closest to:

8% 10%
A) $225,000 $360,000
B) $225,000 $330,000
C) $245,000 $360,000

The answer is B.
