<p>According to the REA review book.. there is no penalty for guessing on this exam ???</p>

<p>This is news to me. Are you sure that you're reading it correctly? How old is that REA book?</p>

<p>Yes, there is a penalty for guessing on ANY Collegeboard test -- AP and SAT</p>

4

<p>5 questions, you guess on all of them.
chances are you get 4 wrong and 1 right.
4 wrong = -1/4 x 4 = -1 point
1 right = 1 point
total = 0 points (no penalty)
as opposed to skipping the 5 questions = 0 points</p>

<p>no on page 9 for anyone who has the book... it clearly states answer every question there is no penalty for guessing.. its the 7th edition .. 2005 i believe</p>

<p>i think maybe i know what you are talking about......if you can eliminate at least one answer choice then statistically you will not hurt your score. there is definitely a .25 deduction for WRONG ANSWERS, not just GUESSING. but guessing incorrectly could hurt your score.</p>

<p>It's as RunnerGrl8807 said, there is a penalty for incorrect answers on ALL collegeboard multiple choice questions.</p>
