Students should have a basic knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.
Some questions are similar to textbook exercises, whereas others involve new situations.
This type of question does not include answer choices. Students must analyze and solve problems without being influenced by alternative answers. This kind of question may have more than one correct answer. Because guessing is almost impossible on grid-ins, these questions have no penalty for guessing. Students need to practice completing the grids correctly for those math questions that require test takers to construct their own answers.
