Are you sure it's a guessing bonus? I teach the LSAT. On that test, there's no guessing penalty, and you get a point for a correct answer.

So, if you guess five questions, on average you'll get a point, making each guess statistically worth about .2

But guesses don't have actual value of course, it's only when you guess right that you get the points.

I can't speak for the grade school standardized tests since I don't teach those (nor do I want to).
