You have a lot of great information, but my 'burning question' is this - have you noticed the error in your 'no penalty for guessing' position?
Anonymous
Sigh. No, but I’m sure you’re dying to tell me.
So we’re clear, my guessing position is that one should not be dogmatic about guessing (or not guessing). Here are all the posts I’ve made on the subject. Feel free to leave a comment on whichever of them you take issue with—I’m always open to refining my position.

FEB. 3, 1863:
SAMUEL CLEMENS USES MARK TWAIN PSEUDONYM
On this day in 1863, writer and humorist Samuel Langhorne Clemens used the pen name “Mark Twain” for the first time.
In 2002, Ken Burns profiled Mark Twain in a two-part special. Head on over to the accompanying site to study the Mark Twain timeline, and explore Mark Twain’s interactive scrapbook.

Want a free copy of the PWN the SAT Math Guide?
The whole reason I started PWN the SAT is that I think good, solid test prep advice should be available to everyone, not just people who have access to top-notch tutors or prep courses. That’s why the content on my sites will always be free, and although I am selling a book now (I need to pay my rent, you know) I want to give you a chance to get your hands on it for free, too.
Here’s the deal:
- You reblog this post. (Or copy/paste THE WHOLE POST onto your non-Tumblr blog, or put a link to this contest on your favorite social network.)
- You fill out this form.
- For every 10 books that sell, I choose 1 random person from the list, email them to make sure they still want a book and confirm their shipping address, and send them a free copy.
What?
If you have no idea what the PWN the SAT Math Guide is or why you’d want it, the book’s Amazon page allows you to browse through and see what it’s about.
Why?
Well, it’d be nice to get the word out, but I don’t exactly have a marketing budget. This is a promotion that pays for itself, so I know I’ll always be able to afford to ship out the prizes.
And I’ve heard from a bunch of people that they want my book but can’t afford it.
I feel like this one stone, if it catches on, can kill both birds. You help me get the word out, and I give you free stuff.
Restrictions:
- This is only available to USA residents, because I don’t really know how to ship internationally. Sorry.
- Only one entry per person.
- I’ll check to make sure your post is still up before I contact you to tell you you’ve won, so you can’t just make a post and then delete it.
- This is important: PLEASE don’t spam. That means don’t put this where you don’t have permission to put it. Don’t put it on message boards that forbid advertising. Don’t put it ANYWHERE it won’t be welcome. If you have any doubt about whether you should be posting this, don’t.
- This promotion will run through the entire month of February, but I might extend it further if it seems to be working well.
