You've just reminded me that this was even a recommended strategy in some of the multiple choice tests during my education. Random guessing was scored equally as if you hadn't answered at all

If you really didn't know an answer then every option was equally likely and no benefit, but if you could eliminate just one answer then your expected score from guessing between the others was worthwhile.
