LSAT Guessing Strategies

LSAT Guessing Strategies Remember, there is no penalty for getting an answer wrong on the LSAT test. Many standardized tests will actually take a fraction of a point away from your raw score if you get an answer wrong. That is to discourage you from guessing during the test. Not so with the LSAT. Since there is no penalty for a wrong answer, you have no excuse for leaving any questions unmarked in your answer form. For every answer you fail to at least make a guess at, you are losing at least 1/5 of a point (since you have five answer choices, a random guess will be right one out of five guesses on average). If you can eliminate some answers, that ratio increases. If you can eliminate three answers, each guess you make is worth one-half a raw point. Not bad for making a guess.
