Grid-in Response Directions

In questions 31-38, first solve the problem, and then enter your answer on the grid provided on the
answer sheet. The instructions for entering your answers follow.
n First, write your answer in the boxes at the top of the grid.
n Second, grid your answer in the columns below the boxes.
n Use the fraction bar in the first row or the decimal point in the second row to enter fractions and
decimals.

n Grid only one space in each column.

n Entering the answer in the boxes is recommended as an aid in gridding but is not required.
n The machine scoring your exam can read only what you gird, so you must grid-in your answers
correctly to get credit.
n If a question has more than one correct answer, grid-in only one of them.
n The grid does not have a minus sign; so no answer can be negative.
n A mixed number must be converted to an improper fraction or a decimal before it is gridded.
Enter 1 as or 1.25; the machine will interpret as and mark it wrong.
n All decimals must be entered as accurately as possible. Here are three acceptable ways of
gridding

n Note that rounding to .273 is acceptable because you are using the full grid, but you would
receive no credit for .3 or .27, because they are less accurate.
