Why do we choose a WRONG option in CAT?

With the threat of Negative Marking looming large on our head, we are very careful while marking answers in CAT. Still, we get some questions answered wrongly. Why?

Here are a few Reasons for marking wrong answers:
1. Students know the concept, but in a hurry they mark the wrong answer.
2. The calculation part took more than 90 seconds and still the student is not sure of two options, marks a fluke and gets the answer wrong
3. The student is working at an extremely high speed and the accuracy falls dramatically
4. The student does not know 5 questions in a row and marks randomly in the next question
5. The student's basic concepts of Grammar, Vocabulary, Formula's are not clear

Reasons for getting an Answer Right in CAT

What makes us mark a correct answer in the mock CAT?

After talking to a lot of students and observing their attempts, I found out that students choose the correct option when:
1. They know the formula (Quant. or DI) or meaning (Vocabulary) and patiently crack the question
2. They are wise in picking up the questions they know they can solve
3. The question is very easy to solve
4. The question came from a topic, whose concept the students have revised twice
5. The question belongs to a series of questions in a Case let, and the students have invested a few precious minutes to crack it

There are plenty of other reasons. Just put them as COMMENTS to this post
