Guessing Strategies

Making Smart Guesses

If you’re not sure of an answer, don’t worry! There’s no penalty for guessing on the ISEE, so make your best guess and move on.

How to Guess Wisely

  • Eliminate answers you know are wrong.
  • Look for clues in the question to help with your guess.
  • Never leave a question blank!

Why Guessing Matters

Every guess is a chance to get more points, so always try your best!

Examples

  • Crossing out two wrong answers, then picking the best from the remaining choices.

  • Choosing an answer quickly if you’re running out of time, instead of leaving it blank.
