seriously, people who score in the high ranges on the SAT never omit questions

[Latency]

<p>

i don’t understand why the SAT penalizes the students for trying to answer all of the questions (especially those who are high scorers). I mean, it takes ALOT more effort to search back through a passage or to finish a math problem to pick and answer than just to leave it blank. right??
and obviously, for the high scorers, it is a rule that you never omit questions.
i mean, if you miss like…2 questions on math or something, you missed 2 questions regardless of whether u left one blank!! and it’s soo unfair that if that wrong answer happens to be left blank, your score gets bumped up like 20 pts.
this guessing penalty does not make sense to me.

I think I read somewhere that you ended up with a pretty good SAT score (2200+ or something). I’m curious as to how someone with such a solid SAT score could possibly make a thread this ignorant, and frankly, just stupid.</p>

<p>This thread doesn’t even make any sense. Guessing penalty impedes the high scorers? The whole point of being a high scorer is that you’re sure that your answer is correct so you don’t have to guess.</p>

<p>Talking about getting rid of the guessing penalty if you can reduce your choices down to 2 choices is just unrealistic and overly idealistic. Sure, it would make (some) sense, but in essence, the “guessing penalty” is just fine how it is.</p>
