The logic is this forum is flawed. Consider you need 70% to pass. Then you will need to get 84 questions right. That means you can get 36 wrong.

So you only have to get 72 right
Guess 48 and hope to get an average of 1/3 right = 14.4 correct

that gives you 84 correct = 70%

So one could argue you only need 60% to pass since the remaining 10% will be picked up on average anyway through "guessing"

Of course just because you didn't guess a question doesn't mean you got it right. The exam is designed to fool you into selecting wrong answers while believing you selected the right answer. Thus your perception of what was a guess and what wasn't is not accurate. A guess is not a bad thing as at least it steers you away from traps/tricks. While not guessing is not necessarily good as you may have fallen for many wrong answers which of course leaves you with 0% chance of scoring on that question.

Guessing questions does of course also imply that you were not properly prepared for the material that you were guessing on and does point to an overall lack of preparation for the exam but on its own is largely irrelevant in determining score.
