<p>How many have you left blank the time you have took the SATs?</p>
<p>And should I just leave everything that looks to hard blank?</p>
<p>Should I really guess if I can knock down one answer?</p>
<p>Give me info on the blankingness!</p>
<p>And your scores guys.</p>
<p>If you can knock down just one answer, I would guess. I never leave any blank unless I run out of time. Skip hard problems first (making sure to circle them on answer sheet and skip) and then go back later once you have done all the ones that are easier for you.</p>
<p>On math I normally leave 2 per section blank, so 6 in total. Then again, Im only looking for a score of 650, which is still great to achieve, but not a high score compared to those looking to get in the 700s and pursuing ivy league and other top 10 - 20 schools.</p>
<p>Not only does skipping the 2 hard problems prevent me from losing points on a wrong answer, but it gives me time to focus a lot more time on the ones I know I can get right. Now don’t get me wrong, if I can answer the two hard problems I most certainly will - I dont just automatically skip, but normally, they are beyond my ability</p>
<p>For critical reading I only skip if I have no clue what the vocab words are, which is about one or two questions, and the very difficult passage analysis problems - which is generally around 3 or 4 problems.</p>
<p>For writing I think I only left 3 blank in total - Im good at sentence correction so it was easy.</p>
<p>Me to am just aiming for a 600 in every section!</p>
<p>I’ll take these things into consideration when am taking a practice test.</p>
<p>I don’t leave any blank usually. If you take a lot of practice tests and stuff you’ll become a lot more efficient so you’ll have enough time to give every problem a good luck. And if I really can’t narrow down a definitive answer I can still knock out at least one or two choices so that the guess is worth it.</p>
<p>I always leave one fill in the blank (CR) blank because there’s always one where I dont know any of the words</p>
<p>None but then again I’m shooting for top scores.</p>
<p>none.
my guessing skills are pretty good so more often than not, I get the guessed answer right. In addition, I’m usually able to eliminate 1 or 2 choices so it’s not too much of a gamble.</p>
<p>This is actually a very important question. The approximate number of questions you should be attempting depends on your current ability level (what you’re currently scoring on practice tests).</p>
<p>Now, as you’re attempting these questions always omit a multiple choice question if you can’t eliminate a choice, and you have no intuition as to what the answer might be. You should even be careful with your intuition on the harder problems because they are designed to trick you.</p>
<p>Always guess if you can eliminate one answer choice, and always guess grid-ins you don’t know.</p>
<p>Thanks drsteve I read the whole thing :)</p>
<p>When I took it I only omitted one multiple choice math question. I’d say try to omit as few as possible as long as you have a basic understanding of the questions. but I only got a 2030 so I don’t know if my opinion is really valid…</p>
<p>Mayb one cr on the entire test. I guess if i can eliminate two bc if i can only eliminate one than chances r i dont understannd the ques in the first place</p>
<p>None. Also, remember that even if u get 2 wrong in a section (e.g. 2 wrong in all 3 math sections), it’s still better to guess because if you omit 2, it’s -2 raw score. if you guess 2 and get them both wrong, it’s -2.5 raw score, which is rounded to -2.</p>
