Smart Guessing

Making Your Best Guess

On a timed test like the HSPT, sometimes you may not know the answer right away. Smart guessing means using logic to eliminate wrong choices and picking the best of what's left. Don't leave questions blank—there’s no penalty for guessing!

How to Guess Wisely

  • Eliminate obviously wrong answers first.
  • Look for patterns in the remaining choices.
  • Trust your gut if you have to guess between two options.

Guessing smartly can boost your score when you’re unsure.

Examples

  • Crossing off two impossible answers and picking from the last two.

  • Guessing quickly on tough questions to save time for easier ones.
