You get negative points for answering incorrectly, to disincentivize blind guessing.


The SAT no longer penalizes guessing (i.e. incorrect answers).[0]

Interesting, thank you


I believe it doesn't disincentivize blind guessing. It just counteracts it. If you can eliminate one answer you should guess. Even if you can't eliminate an answer you break even.


That wouldn’t be blind.
