Guessing and Elimination Techniques

Smart Guessing for Success

Sometimes, it's better to make an educated guess than to spend too long on a tough question. The GMAT doesn’t penalize for wrong answers, so use elimination techniques to improve your odds.

Steps to Guess Wisely

  • Rule out clearly wrong answer choices
  • Look for patterns or traps in the answers
  • Never leave a question blank

Boost Your Score

Even a random guess gives you a chance, but a smart guess can turn a near-miss into a win.

Examples

  • Cross off two impossible answers, then guess between the remaining options.

  • Spot that two answers are exactly the same and eliminate both, since only one can be correct.
