What this means • It is recommended, through not required, that you write your answer in the boxes at the top of the columns. However, you will receive credit only for darkening in ovals correctly. • Grid only one answer to a question, even though some problems may have more than one correct answer. • Darken no more than one oval per column. • No answers are negative. • Mixed numbers cannot be gridded. For example: the number must be gridded as 1.25 or 5/4 (if it is gridded as 1¼, it will be interpreted as 11/4 , not 1¼). • Decimal accuracy: Decimal answers must be entered as accurately as possible. For example, if you obtain an answer such as 0.1666. . ., you should record the result as .166 or .167. Less accurate values such as .16 or .17 are not acceptable.
What this means, Cont’d • Your answer must have at most 4 characters, including the decimal point or fraction bar. • The grid cannot accommodate negative numbers, mixed numbers, or numbers greater than 9,999. • A fractional number with 4 digits won't fit. • Mixed numbers must be changed to decimals or fractions before you grid. • Decimals must be as complete as possible (for long or repeating decimals, use as many columns as possible) but do not have to be rounded up for accuracy's sake. • Many questions may have more than one correct answer, and there may be many ways to fill in the grid correctly (just choose a single safe one). • You will only get credit for filling in the ovals correctly—if you fill in two ovals in the same column, the computer reads this as an omission.
Follow these directions • Count how many you have correct and write it on top of your page • Ex: 10 correct • Count how many you have incorrect and write it on top of your page • Ex: 5 incorrect • Take the incorrect number and multiply it by .25 • Ex: 5 * .25 = 1.25 points • Now subtract your incorrect points from your correct number to get your total, circle that number • Ex: 10-1.25 = 8.75 points
Follow these directions • Now take the multiple choice total points (circled) and multiply it by 2.2 • Ex: 8.75 * 2.2 = 19.25 multiple choice • Add the total points from the Grid-Ins to the multiple choice to get your raw score, circle it • Ex: 19.25 + 5 = 24.25 Raw Score
