Note: You may start your answers in any column, space permitting. Columns not needed should be left blank.

l Decimal Accuracy: If you obtain a decimal answer, enter the most accurate value the grid will accommodate. For example, if you obtain an answer such as 0.6666 … , you should record the result as .666 or .667. Less accurate values such as .66 or .67 are not acceptable.

Acceptable ways to grid 2}3 5 .6666 …

l Mark no more than one oval in any column.

l Because the answer sheet will be machine-scored, you will receive credit only if the ovals are filled in correctly.

l Although not required, it is suggested that you write your answer in the boxes at the top of the columns to help you fill in the ovals accurately.

l Some problems may have more than one correct answer. In such cases, grid only one answer.

l No question has a negative answer.

l Mixed numbers such as 2 1}2 must be gridded as 2.5 or

l Mark no more than one oval in any column.

l Because the answer sheet will be machine-scored, you will receive credit only if the ovals are filled in correctly.

l Although not required, it is suggested that you write your answer in the boxes at the top of the col-umns to help you fill in the ovals accurately.

l Some problems may have more than one correct answer. In such cases, grid only one answer.

l No question has a negative answer.
