SAT Test Penalty Some standardized tests, such as the SAT test, incorporate a penalty for wrong answers. For example, a multiple-choice question with five possible answers will have 1 point awarded for a correct answer and \(\frac{1}{4}\) point deducted for an incorrect answer. Questions left blank are worth 0 points.
