Sort of, but not really. For multiple guess type tests, there is that element. However, other types of tests and particular homework, there's not that as much. We're not interested so much in did you get the right answer as did you follow the right techniques.

At least this is about math where there is usually a single right answer. For things like English where the question is, did you get the right points? There's should be debate over even what is the right points in any large work. And so if you're convincing in your argument of what is the important points, you can pass homework.

Edit, fix autocorrect

Multiple choice?

A student honestly attempting math problems, if it’s a well-designed problem, shouldn’t be able to get multiple answers right with wrong methods.

I’d say a professor should be grading English essays. But a TA can grade short answers, e.g. did you grasp the theme or understand an extratextual reference.
