<p>Hello guys! </p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone could clarify the concept of an 'Educated guess'?
Most of the SAT prep books recommend guessing after eliminating one after choice.
Is that a good strategy or is it better to just skip that specific question?</p>
<p>Also. I'm aiming for a 2100. 700 in all three portions.
Can anyone help with pacing myself during the test?
As in, the number of questions to solve and the number to skip.
Advice from past SAT takers would be much appreciated.
Thanks!</p>
<p>i would personally say if you dont know for sure, dont guess. you may get lucky if you do but odds are you’re gonna get it wrong. Ive found that in the end guessing actually hurts your score.</p>
<p>I too would like to know what an acceptable amount of questions should be omitted in each section. I’m always tempted to answer every question but usually that can hurt my score.</p>
<p>From my experience I think you should answer as many as you can… sometimes you end up omitting one or two on a section and you think it’s no big deal, but then you might omit one or two on the next two sections. That’s already around -5. I never omit on practice tests, but on the real thing I omit because I freak out and then got a lower score… so this time I’m going to try and answer most.</p>
<p>Well, getting 800 on math and 600 on CR is much more easier to have both 700. I mean it’s harder to leap from 600 to 700 on CR than from 700 to 800 on math :D</p>
