The test, and the physicist's shortcuts

Question 1 of 11

You have 20 minutes left and six questions you have not attempted. Under the Physics Test's scoring rules as ETS describes them, which approach maximizes your expected score?

AWork the six questions in order and leave any you cannot finish blank, since a blank costs nothing while a wrong answer is subtracted
BAnswer only questions on which you can eliminate at least three choices
CMake sure every question has an answer, guessing where necessary, and spend the remaining time on the ones you can actually solve
DSpend the time checking earlier answers and leave the six blank
EGuess the same letter on all six, because answer positions are weighted toward one letter
