Are points subtracted for wrong answers on the sat?
Yes, but only by 1/4 of a percentage point. This means that it is almost *always* better to guess at an answer on the new SAT as opposed to skipping it. The law of probability is that you are going to guess at least one out of every four right, which will, in turn, cancel out the three you got wrong. If you can eliminate at least one of the available answer choices, you further raise your probabilities, which means that by learning simple SAT test-taking strategies, you can significantly raise your SAT average score.

How many questions should you skip on the SAT to get a 600 on each section?
Skipping questions on the SAT is advisable if you don't know the answer to a question and are unable to eliminate any of the answer choices. If you can rule out even one or two incorrect answers, you should always answer that question even if you have to make a blind guess, since probability states that you'll gain more points by guessing in this fashion than you'll lose by answering some of the questions incorrectly.

How do the SAT's grade?
The SAT exam has the reputation of being a test-taker's test. That's because there's a strategy to taking the test beyond studying. Points are taken off for wrong answers, but not for answers left blank. That means you may be better off skipping a question if you have absolutely no idea what the answer is. However, if you can eliminate one or two of the choices, it may be better to take a guess. When interpreting your SAT scores, remember that each section is worth 800 points and recorded separately. The colleges where you apply will be able to see which subjects are your strongest.
