Formula Reference Sheet
This chapter
Numeric Entry rules
| No answer choices | type the exact value — no back-solving |
|---|---|
| Fraction box | answers need NOT be reduced (2/4 scores like 1/2) |
| Rounding | round only as the prompt directs (e.g. "nearest integer") |
| Negatives & decimals | the box accepts a minus sign and a decimal point |
Multiple-Answer rules
| How many are correct | anywhere from 1 to all of them |
|---|---|
| Scoring | all-or-nothing — every correct box, no incorrect box |
| Method | test EACH option independently against the condition |
| Range questions | find the min and max that qualify, then include every option in between |
