Should You Guess?
In most cases, the answer is yes—if you can eliminate at
least one answer. On the computer-based TOEFL exam,
random guessing will lower your score. Only guess if you

of questions you answer correctly. Because there is no
penalty for wrong answers, you should guess even if you
can’t eliminate one or more answer choices.
