Any strategy used to guess, say the last 5 questions? Eg. BBBBB, ABCDE, ACAAC? Any strategy that is statistically beneficial?

Thanks for the quick response. I totally understand, I'm just taking the LSAT tomorrow and figured if i got stuck in a situation of guessing for one reason or another than i be ready. Any other last tips?
Thanks @974 liked the second link .. when I am out of time.
I always pick D since my first name starts with D. Plus, in my total confirmation bias opinion, I tend to find the answers to questions 18-25 on LR to be in the C-E range. But, that's totally anecdotal, and I have other evidence of that.
Edit/Addendum: PowerScore has some stats on it that are a little interesting to read:

@974 Always
Always pick F.
If there were a pattern, people would be using it to check their answers even if they didn't guess.
Just pick and pray. The entire point of a guess is that you're not spending time on it and just accepting the blind 20% chance. If you're spending time agonizing about what to guess, you're defeating the purpose.
Decide now what you're going to bubble (I chose C because I'm a sucker for symmetry, though it didn't end up coming into play) and just do that on the test.
There is no strategy for guessing questions. Guessing isn't something I'd recommend to get a habit of. If you find yourself guessing, it means you don't have the material down and you should revisit.
