No Penalty for Guessing
Captions available
The idea
Section scores count only correct answers; there is no penalty for guessing. Every blank is a certain miss, so every question should get an answer.
In practice
With four choices, a blind guess is right one time in four; a blank, never.
Where people slip
Guess as late as you like, but before time is called: no answer may be marked after.
