strategy or tip on guessing?

<p>You have used the process of elimination and all the remaining choices "seem" like the correct answer to you (let's say you're now down to two choices - a 50-50 chance to get the right answer), do you:</p>

<p>a.) Randomly select a letter?
b.) Select the letter which you have picked X amount of times during the test?
c.) ???</p>

<p>EDIT: Mods, I meant to post this in the ACT sub-forum. :/</p>

<p>If it's at the end of the test, I'll count how many of each letter I already put (how many A answers, B, etc.) Apparently well-written tests should have roughly the same number As, Bs, etc. so if I need to guess, I'll pick the letter which has shown up the least so far.</p>

<p>hmmm... i never thought of that.</p>

<p>if you have it down to two answer choices pick the one you think is the best. if you have no idea at all, omit it. i don't think looking at how many As and Bs you have filled in is a good strategy because chances are you got some of those questions wrong. </p>

<p>.. oh wait i just realized you meant the ACT. just pick the answer you think is right since guessing can't hurt you.</p>
