Don’t mark more than one circle per column. 3. None of the questions with grid-in responses will have a negative solution. 4. Only grid in a single answer, even if there is more than one correct answer to a given question. 5. A mixed number must be gridded as a decimal or an improper fraction. For example, you would grid as 7.5 or 15/2. (Were you to grid it as , this response would be read as .) 6.
