Psat/ Sat Grid-In Responses: Successminds Tutoring

Grid-in questions on the PSAT and SAT do not provide multiple choice answers. Instead, students must work out the problem and write their answer in the grid provided. Answers must be formatted correctly, with only one response per question gridded in. Approved calculators can help avoid careless mistakes, but pi should never be included in answers. Examples demonstrate how to accurately grid fractions, decimals, and answers involving time or other calculations.
