Does answering all questions help your score?

Say you get through all but 5 questions in a section with a minute to spare. Is it advised to quickly guess the last few answers? Would this increase the probability of a better score, or does this hurt your score?

    It doesnt punish you. I say guess away because the best case scenario is you're a lucky person. One of my best friends guessed 1/4 of the ACT and got them all correct and ended up with a 35/36 on the test. Guessing on the LSAT can only help because if you're a lucky person you just went up a couple points if your unlucky it stays the same.

    The LSAT is not scored using the same method as the SAT or ACT. You are never punished for guessing. When I notice I am low on time with unanswered question, I fill them in and then try to work on as many as I can before time is up.

    Yep. Guess them all and, if you have any time left, see if you can reason through one of them.
