Guess or leave blank?

Is it more beneficial to your lsat score to guess on a question you're struggling with or leave blank?

    Guessing never hurts your score, so you definitely want to always fill in something before time runs out. Whether you choose to not bubble when skipping a question for later review is up to one's personal preference. Just be sure you have every bubble filled on test day, even if you are completely unsure about some questions.

    Since you aren't penalize for incorrect choices, it's definitely beneficial to guess. Try to eliminate it down to two to three choices, bubble something in, and move on. The most important thing is to try and not get flustered at questions you might've struggled with, and don't spend too much time dwelling on a question.

    Always better to guess. And there are usually 1-2 answer choices you can eliminate even if it is the hardest LSAT game or RC passage ever.

    Yeah, guess and add on 0.2 points. Even better if you can get it to 50/50. Count that as +0.5.

    Eliminate as many answer choices as you can and then guess between remaining ones. But make sure to leave those questions that you do not get to read them in full due to running out of time blank so you do not inflate your score.
