Smart Guessing and Elimination

Make Every Guess Count

If you’re unsure about an answer, eliminate obviously wrong choices first. This boosts your odds if you need to guess. Remember, there’s no penalty for guessing on the SAT Subject Tests, so never leave a question blank!

Smart Steps

  • Cross out answers you know are incorrect
  • Compare what's left, and make your best guess
  • Trust your instincts if you’re torn between two

Examples

  • Narrowing down four answer choices to two and picking between them.

  • Eliminating options that don’t fit the information in the question, then making a confident guess.
