<p>everytime i ask this question i always get a different answer from ppl
but really is it better to guess or leave it blank?</p>
<p>depends on the test...of course, with tests like the ACT, where you're not penalized for guessing, then by all means guess away if you have the time. But I'm assuming you mean tests like the SAT or the APs. In my personal experience, and from reading test prep books, I think it's a good idea to go ahead and guess if you can eliminate 2 out of a 5 mc question. It'll depend on how many questions you guess on, but statistically you will end up with more points if you guess and miss some than if you dont answer them at all.</p>
