Any strategy used to guess, say the last 5 questions? Eg. BBBBB, ABCDE, ACAAC? Any strategy that is statistically beneficial?

Thanks @974 liked the second link .. when I am out of time.
I always pick D since my first name starts with D. Plus, in my total confirmation bias opinion, I tend to find the answers to questions 18-25 on LR to be in the C-E range. But, that's totally anecdotal, and I have other evidence of that.
Edit/Addendum: PowerScore has some stats on it that are a little interesting to read:

@974 Always
Always pick F.
If there were a pattern, people would be using it to check their answers even if they didn't guess.
Just pick and pray. The entire point of a guess is that you're not spending time on it and just accepting the blind 20% chance. If you're spending time agonizing about what to guess, you're defeating the purpose.
Decide now what you're going to bubble (I chose C because I'm a sucker for symmetry, though it didn't end up coming into play) and just do that on the test.
Thanks for the quick response. I totally understand, I'm just taking the LSAT tomorrow and figured if i got stuck in a situation of guessing for one reason or another than i be ready. Any other last tips?
There is no strategy for guessing questions. Guessing isn't something I'd recommend to get a habit of. If you find yourself guessing, it means you don't have the material down and you should revisit.
