Is it better to guess on questions you don’t know and don’t time for or is it better to leave them blank? Why?

Hi KVB!

Good question! For the LSAT, you should answer all of the questions on the exam if time permits. Students are awarded points for questions they answer correctly, but no points are deducted for incorrect answers. Therefore, even if you guess on questions, you will not be penalized if the answer is wrong. :-D

You can find some helpful information about guessing strategy on the LSAT here:

Let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks!
