<p>I heard that not answering certain questions on the SAT can boast your grade. Is it possible to gain a high score even if I don’t answer a majority of the questions. What are some strategies?</p>
<p>I’m a newbie with SAT’s. I’d appreciate any help. </p>
<p>I’m taking the SAT in October! </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>What it means is that it is better to skip a question if you have no clue regarding the answer as there is negative marking for incorrect answers - but not for leaving them blank.</p>
<p>If you haven’t already, buy a copy of the Collegeboard Official sat guide. Take a practice test and then score it. Get to know the scoring system- once you understand it well you’ll have a clear idea of how many questions you need to attempt/answer correctly to reach your target score, how many you blanks you can get away with, etc.</p>
<p>1800 is an above average score and it’s possible to get that by answering less than 70% of all the questions. Pretty crazy right? SAT scoring is unusual. But don’t take my word for it, you have to see it for yourself.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback! </p>
<p>Yes, I have bought a copy of CB’s SAT Guide.</p>
