Again you are completely missing the point.

Again you are completely missing the point. The SAT is not "pro" guessing. It is mathematically neutral. If you get rid of guessing completely, then there's no way to differentiate between people who have no clue what the question is and people who actually have a clue. Giving 3 points for a blank question rewards people who are clueless and punishes people that aren't. If you really did crush the SAT I am rather confused how you fail to understand any of this. PS: this thought just ran past my mind, it seems like you actually think your scoring scheme is actually mathematically fair. Someone that is able to eliminate 1/5 answers will average 1 point per question (4 points / 4 choices) Someone who cannot eliminate any answers gets 3 points per question??? Where is the logic in that? If you crushed the SAT they must have removed the probability questions these days lol.
