Default Re: Should You Guess On The LSAT

The LSAT does not assess a scoring penalty for incorrect answer choices, you should always guess on every question that you cannot complete during the allotted time.

However, because some answer choices are historically more likely to occur than others, you should not guess randomly.

The following tables summarize which answer choices have occurred most frequently over the years.

LSAT Answer Choice Probabilities





Do not choose random answer choices; do not put in a pattern such as A-B-C-D-E etc.

Although guessing answer choice (D) does not guarantee you will get the questions correct, statistically speaking guessing answer choice (D) gives you a better chance of answering correctly than guessing randomly.

From second table, if you cannot finish the final questions in a section, in the Logical Reasoning section you should always guess answer choice (E).

In the Reading Comprehension section you should always guess answer choice (B), and in the Logic Games section you should guess (A).

Please keep in mind that the strategies discussed above hold only for pure guessing.

If you are attempting to choose between two answer choices, do not choose solely on the basis of statistics alone!
