Do you guess?

[Gitanjali]

My understanding is there is penalty for guessing so you would guess, correct?  Just trying to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I meant to say there is NO penalty for guessing

You are correct. There is NO penalty for guessing. Obviously you want to make an educated guess if possible. But a straight out guess give you a 25% chance of getting the correct answer. You should never leave any questions unanswered.

Remember when all else fails the correct answer is C

Remember when all else fails the correct answer is C

By C, you mean B right?

Yes B is closer to A

You can increase your odds of guessing the correct answer beyond 25% by choosing the same letter every time you guess.

On the other hand, try to eliminate the obvious wrong answers first before you guess. For example, if an electrical engineer sees a question wanting to know how much current appears on the secondary side of a transformer with a 2:1 winding ratio if the secondary side has an impedance of (30 + j40) Ohms and 30 VDC is applied to the primary side, s/he should be able to identify the correct answer immediately without any calculations.

Something tells me you didn't do so well in statistics.
