How is the ACT scored in terms of guessing or not guessing? How are points taken off? Is it like the SAT's that takes a fraction of a point off or what? I'm taking it on a whim tomorrow morning and I have no idea how it's scored. Is an omission the same as a wrong answer, or is an omission just taken off the test? Help help help... thanks.

"Your ACT scores are based on the number of questions you answer correctly. There is no penalty for guessing, so it is to your advantage to answer every question during the time allowed for that test." -http://www.act.org/aap/taking/tips.html
