3.5 Do Not Forget
-
Immediately after you arrive at an answer, enter it at the top of the various columns.
-
You may use only one box in any column.
-
Do not bother about the form of your answer. If it is correct, you will get credit whether you express it as a fraction or a decimal. To give you an example, say your answer is one-half, the scoring machine will accept 0.5 as well as ˝ .
-
You can start a short answer in any column that will accommodate it. But remember, the scoring machine will consider only the filled-in spaces in the columns. A grid with just the numbers at the top will not be considered as answers at all.
-
Mixed numbers are not accepted by the grid. An answer of 2˝ must be answered as 5/ 2 or as 2.5
-
The grid does not accept negative answers. This makes it clear that none of the answers can be negative.
-
Students using a computer program for this test will not be provided with the above grid. All they will have to do is to type in the answers using the keyboard.
