Answer every question, even if you have to guess blindly.

Never leave a question blank, moving on to the next question. Even if you feel clueless, it pays to guess.

This is especially true on multiple choice questions where you always have at least a one in four chance of earning credit for a correct answer. And on these questions, you can probably use common sense to eliminate one or two of the choices, improving your odds of guessing correctly.

Remember that you cannot lose points for giving a wrong answer. You can only fail to earn credit. So don't pass up any opportunity for free points! If you do not think you know the answer, guess.
