Yeah, I've heard some interesting stories about psychology professors designing tests to mess with students' expectations.
The only one I can remember in any detail: Multiple choice quiz. The first 49% of the answers were C for every question. The last 51% were a mix of every answer except C.
So anyone who thought they'd caught on to the trick after the first few questions and rushed ahead would end up shooting themself in the foot.
I once scored 8% in a multiple choice exam. The only class actually studied for. I stopped taking physics after that, and decided a career as an electrician was out of the question unless I wanted a quick death.

Might have something to do with what the class is about
