Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Since vs for lesson: Use 'since' with a starting point in time (a date, year, event, or time of day) to say when a situation began: 'since 2019', 'since Monday'. Use 'for' with a length or duration of time (a number of minutes, days, or years) to say how long it has lasted: 'for three years', 'for a while'. Both commonly pair with the present perfect.
