so if you actually cross them out.. that helps even if you got the question wrong?

do you cross out the bubble or in the booklet?

@BoxedEgoReviews Not exactly...it always helps to cross out answer choices because it gives you better odds if you are going to guess. For example, if you can narrow it down to two answer choices by eliminating and crossing out the other 3, then you have a 50-50 shot of getting the answer right. MUCH better odds than if you had to guess and you hadn't eliminated any answers. Hope this helps!

This is very informative.

Also, my PreCalculous Teacher says that it's important to not really guess on maybe the last five problems on any SAT section. Those are usually the very difficult questions so if you get them wrong on guessing it will count against you in a bad way. But if left blank, it will not.

@Meashayshay2 Great tip.
