Directions: For Student-Produced Response questions 918, use the grids at the bottom of the answer sheet page on which you have answered questions 18. Each of the remaining 10 questions requires you to solve the problem and enter your answer by marking the ovals in the special grid, as shown in the examples below. You may use any available space for scratchwork. Answer: 1.25 or Write answer in boxes. or 5/4 Fraction line

Decimal point

Grid in result.

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

It is recommended, though not required, that you write your answer in the boxes at the top of the columns. However, you will receive credit only for darkening the ovals correctly. Grid only one answer to a question, even though some problems have more than one correct answer. Darken no more than one oval in a column. No answers are negative. Mixed numbers cannot be gridded. For example: the 1 number 1 must be gridded as 1.25 or 5/4. 4 (If not 1 1 ) 4 is gridded, it will be interpreted as 11 , 4

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. Acceptable ways to grid = .1666. . .
