I am taking the SAT tomorrow and I was curious as to what I should do. I haven't really studied seeing as how I am only is 7 grade and I am only taking because i received high enough test scores. Anyway i was wondering if it would be better for me to pick a letter such as A, B, C and stick to it for every answer i do not know or if i should leave the answer blank. I heard if you answer it and get it wrong you loose points but if you leave it blank it doesn't affect you. I this true? Also feel free to give me any other advice, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you have no idea whatsoever what the answer is, then leave it blank. if you can eliminate even one of the choices, its worthwhile to guess.
