Maximizing the average score in a timed test

<p>The article considers the problem of finding a test taker's strategy for passing a time-limited test. A certain number of points is awarded for each test task. The criterion is the average number of points scored for the test. The random factors taken into account in the model are the time it takes the test taker to solve each task and the correctness of his solution, modeled by a random variable with the Bernoulli distribution. The problem is formulated in terms of stochastic linear programming with probabilistic constraints and a quality criterion in the form of the mathematical expectation of the number of points scored for the test. The solution algorithm, results of a numerical experiment and their comparative analysis with the results of solving a similar problem with other quality criteria previously obtained by the authors are presented.</p>
