Answer Distribution
Option 1 has a slight 5% bias (29.9% vs expected 25%). This is a known SSC pattern -- when in doubt and running out of time, Option 1 is statistically the safest guess. But don't rely on this as a strategy.

The real challenge is time -- 36 seconds per question. 100 questions in 60 minutes. No room for overthinking.
