Good guessing (SAT/ACT)

There is guessing and then there is good guessing. On the SAT test, good guessing may help you. Random guessing probably won't. The Collegeboard states in their Official SAT Study Guide that if you can eliminate one answer you should guess. The more choices you can eliminate, the greater the chance you will answer correctly. The SAT does penalize slightly for an incorrect answer, so take a stab at it only if you can eliminate at least one answer choice.

The ACT does not penalize your score for an incorrect answer. So guess away.
