If you are looking to get a top score of 720+, can you really afford to merely guess at a question if you don't know the answer? Let me be more specific: many say that if you do not have a good feel for a question 60 seconds or so into the question, you should probably start looking at strategic guesses as opposed to spending 3-4 mins on the problem. Is this really a good strategy though for someone who could spend 3-4 mins on the question and then very possibly get it right? Of course you may be giving up precious time by using 3-4 min to "maybe" get the question right, as opposed to giving it a good guess and continue on to other questions.
If you run into say 4 quant questions throughout a test where you are stuck, should you quickly "guess" to assure you reach all questions and answer the remaing 31 correctly, or spend a bit more time on the 4 and hope to really nail them all? I guess what I'm asking is if the margin of error is so slim that 4 wrong will kill your score, or if you can afford to get 4 hard questions wrong and get all 31 others right and still get +720?
Hopefully this isn't too convoluted of a question...Thanks
