Is it better to guess or omit?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>My first test that I took, I omitted the answers to questions I didn't know / was unsure about and got a 1930. I don't know if I should try to answer most, if not all, of the questions this time around, because I don't know how that might affect my score.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I can post images of my scores, so I'll give a link, if that's okay?

This is my score report from the November SAT.</p>

<p>Generally, if you can eliminate one of the choices, it’s fine to guess. If you can eliminate two or more, you should probably always guess. </p>

<p>If you want a perfect score, however, never omit any.</p>

<p>Guessing and omitting is, theoretically, the same:</p>

<p>If you omit all of the questions: +0</p>

<p>If you guess on all of the questions: odds are, you will get 1 right (+1) and 4 wrong (-.25*4) = +0</p>

<p>But guessing has that luck factor - you might get more, or less, depending on how lucky you are.</p>

<p>Of course, “smart guesses” are a completely different story :P</p>

<p>You basically get 2 guesses for free because even if you get them wrong you only lose a 1/2 point and that is rounded in your favor. If you find yourself guessing at 3 (-0.75) or more then you might as well guess at up to 6 (-1.5) since they both will round to the same result of -1 off your score.</p>

<p>depends !ON WR,always guess because you can always eliminate many answer choices.
On Math - a bit pointless
On CR - if you narrow down the options to two, guess</p>
