HI guys !
I have a question for you.
What if, during the gmat, we take note about the number of A,B,C,D, and E given and when we have to guess, since every answer has the same likelihood to be correct, we use one of the less picked answer?
Curious!
Thank you

Hi BCCLSN,
Keeping a 'running tab' of that information would NOT be a practical use of your time on Test Day. In situations in which you choose to 'guess', you should do your best to eliminate the answers that don't make sense, do some estimation, etc. and then take a guess.

If you flip a coin twice, and get Heads both times, it does not become more likely that you will get Tails on the next flip. Coinflips are independent - what happened in the past doesn't affect what happens in the future. To think otherwise is a well-known logical error, sometimes called the Gambler's Fallacy.
The same is true on your GMAT. If 'E' is the right answer to your first two questions, it does not become more likely that A-D will be right on the third question. Questions are independent, and if you're guessing randomly at a question in the middle of a test, each answer will have a 1/5 chance to be correct, no matter what happened earlier on the test.
