Using the Right Columns
The scoring machine gives you credit for your answer
no matter which columns you use. For example, all
three of these grids would be scored correct for the
answer 42:
However, so that you don’t confuse yourself, we
recommend using the placement on the left. And be
sure to leave unused grid columns blank.
Units
Grids do not have ovals for units, such as $ or °, so do
not write them in. If you need to write an answer that
includes units, simply leave the units out. For example,
you would fill in $4.97 as 4.97 and 90° as 90.
Percents
If you determine an answer as a percent, such as 50%,
do not fill in 50% on the grid. The grid does not have
a percent symbol (%). Instead, convert all percents to
fractions or decimals before filling in the grid. For
example, 50% should be filled in as .50 or 1/2.
Ratios
The grid also does not have a ratio symbol (:). For grid-
in items, write all ratios as fractions or decimals. For
example, 1:4 or “1 to 4” should be filled in as 1/4 or .25.
