It typically takes 3 to 5 business days to get a reply. Be patient. We'll get to you when we've answered the people who have posted before you.

Also, do NOT reply to your own post unless you have more information to add. The timestamp on a post is based upon the LAST post and we answer oldest first based on that timestamp. So you just put yourself later in the queue when you changed your timestamp by replying to your own post!

Now, to answer your question: absolutely guess. Put something down for EVERY problem. There is a huge penalty for leaving anything blank.

Ideally, though, fix your timing problems so that you do not run out of time and have to guess at the end. (Note: this doesn't mean that you won't have to guess - everybody has to guess at some point. What it means is that you should choose WHEN to guess - on the hardest questions as you see them throughout the section. If you don't choose to do that yourself, then you'll run out of time and have to make random guesses on a bunch of questions at the end - and you might have been able to do some of those questions, given adequate time.)
