How to use this

These probabilities reflect how often each letter was keyed as correct in past papers — not a rule for future exams. Choice B is the most common overall (38.4%), while D is least common (13.6%), especially in Gondar 2026 samples. Always eliminate wrong options first; use letter frequency only as a last resort when guessing.
