Effective Guessing and Elimination

Smart Guessing

There's no penalty for wrong answers on the PSAT, so it's always better to guess than to leave a question blank!

  • Eliminate obviously wrong choices first.
  • Make an educated guess from the remaining answers.
  • Don't spend too long on one question—move on and come back if you have time.

Boost Your Score

Use your best judgment and trust your instincts. Every guessed answer is a chance to earn more points!

Examples

  • Crossing out two wrong answers and choosing between the last two.

  • Guessing on the last few questions when time is running out.
