Both fractions and decimals are accepted. If the answer is ¼, you can use
either ¼ or .25. But remember to make decimals as accurate as possible. For
instance, ⅔ can be filled in as .666 or .667, but not .66 or .67. Because of this we
think it’s easier to stick with fractions, when possible.
Important: You can’t state your answer in mixed fractions. For instance, 2½
would look like ^21 / 2 (twenty-one halves). So you have to use ^5 / 2 or 2.5.
For some reason, there is a decimal point in the last column: Ignore it. There
is no possible answer that will use it.
The largest possible answer on the grid is 9,999 (obviously); the smallest
answer is 0. There are no negative answers. If you get a negative number or a
five-digit answer, try the problem again.
Here are two real SAT questions to whet your appetite. (Have you ever seen
