The SAT's scoring system is kind of hard to understand. Every time you get a question right, you get a point. Every time you miss one (ANSWER INCORRECTLY NOT LEAVE BLANK) you get 1/4 a point taken away. If you leave a question blank you receive no points, but you don't lose any either.
----------------------------
You can leave questions blank on the SAT. Just like the other person said,
Correct answer = 1 pt
Incorrect answer = -1/4 pt
Blank = 0 pt
The test is made so that the expected value from randomly guessing is 0. If you are unsure of a question and can eliminate a few answer choices, it's probably a good idea to guess. On a math grid-in question, however, you do not get penalized for wrong answers, so never leave those questions blank (at least guess if you have no idea).

Does not answering questions on the SAT helpful or beneficial?
Some say that it's a toss-up on whether or not to leave answers blank if you don't know them; I'm going to go a step further and say it is *absolutely* NOT better to leave an answer blank and here's why: The SAT counts off 1/4 of a percent for a wrong answer. So, let's say you have four questions you are unsure of...if you guess at all four of them, the simple law of probability is that you're going to get at least one right. This means that the *one* you get right will cancel out the three you get wrong. Now imagine if you guess correctly on two of them...? See what I mean?? Furthermore, the standard on the SAT is 5 answer choices to each of the multiple choice questions. If you can reasonably deduct at least one answer (and usually it's really easy to at least minus out two of the possible answers), then you are 100% better off by taking a guess.
