It doesn't benefit you. In a selfish way, its bad for you.
If you got it right and they throw it out, everyone who got it wrong gains one point and you get nothing, thereby getting one point closer or even passing you.
If it's a double, you don't gain any point because you got it right already, and everyone who had the "other" correct answer now gains a point, thereby getting one point closer, or even passing you.
If you're only worried about passing, it doesn't benefit you at all.
Are you sure? Technically a throwout should affect everone's overall score regardless. I have a 68. Let's say for the sake of argument they throwout 5 and I don't get any. 68 out of 100 is a 68 (obviously). 68 out of 95 is a 71. This 'small' distinction can make all the difference.

That's not how it works. A throwout question makes all answer choices correct. So if based on the initial answer key you got it right but the question gets thrown out everyone else that initially got it wrong gets a point closer to you but your score is not affected.
Dcas always grades out of 100 questions whether there are changes or not.
This. A question being thrown out does not eliminate the question from the test. They keep the question on there and make choices A, B, C, D all the correct answer.
I originally thought the same as you DOA... I though once the question(s) is/are thrown out, your score is based on how many questions were left... as you showed in your example.
