How to Complete the Response Grid

1. Work the problem and find the answer.2. Write your answer in the answer boxes

at the top of the grid.

•Print your answer with the first digit in the left answer box. Do NOT leave a blank answer box in the middle of an answer.•Be sure to write a decimal point or fraction bar in the answer box if it is a part of the answer.

Page 25: Orange County Public Schools. To Conquer the FCAT Know question formats Avoid common gridding mistakes Practice using FCAT Reference Sheet and FCAT calculator

How to Complete the Response Grids

3. Fill in a bubble under each box in which you wrote your answer.

• Fill in one and ONLY one bubble for each box. Do NOT fill in a bubble under an unused box.•Fill each bubble by making a solid black mark that completely fills the circle.•You MUST fill in the bubbles accurately to receive credit for your answer.

Page 26: Orange County Public Schools. To Conquer the FCAT Know question formats Avoid common gridding mistakes Practice using FCAT Reference Sheet and FCAT calculator

How to complete a negative grid

• No numbers are placed in the 1st column.• If the answer is not negative, Do NOT bubble

in the 1st column. Leave it blank.• If the answer is negative, print only a

negative sign in the 1st column. After the 1st column fill in a bubble under each box in which you wrote your answer.

• Fill in one and ONLY one bubble for each box.

• Do NOT fill in a bubble under an unused box.

• Fill each bubble by making a solid black mark • that completely fills the circle.• You MUST fill in the bubbles accurately to

receive credit for your answer.

Simplifying and Rounding Issues

Simplifying--- We recommend:Do not simplify fractions UNLESS the directions tell you to simplify to lowest terms OR if the answer doesn’t fit in the grid unless you simplify it.

Rounding--- We recommend: Don’t round UNLESS the directions tell

you to do so.
