Guessing

by chipbmk » Sat Oct 31, 2009 11:26 pm
I have heard / read lots of people talking about needing to guess and having a good strategy when it comes time to guess on certain problems.

Can anyone give me some tips for how to approach guessing on different types of problems? How do you eliminate certain answer choices?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
