<p>I was reading through a thread in this forum when I realized that I had gridded in fractions
say: 3/7</p>
<p>as 3 (first column) / (2nd) and 7 (last)</p>
<p>but apparently we aren't supposed to grid in the first....</p>

<p>I took the international SAT, so there were a couple of fraction questions (not an undue amount, but like easy stuff with re: radius/diameter. = 1/2.)</p>
<p>Should I cancel my scores? I came out feeling pretty good about math (though writing was meh) and I'm applying as a junior to Ivies so my application needs to be complete.</p>
<p>(I'm applying early because I will literally have no more classes to take and could graduate a year early, but I'm not going to take the risk of graduating early unless I get into my preferred choices. I'd rather wait a year in that situation)</p>
<p>I'm going to be applying REA, so I need 2 SAT 2s by November.</p>
<p>If I cancel, I'd probably retake the SAT June 2nd and SAT2s in October. Do you guys think this is a safe plan? </p>
<p>I really just need to get writing sorted out and maybe review geometry. I'm aiming for a 2300+ BTW.</p>
<p>Please, ANY advice at all will be appreciated a lot. </p>
<p>Thank you all so much :)</p>
<p>call collegeboard first to see if they can do anything for you I guess</p>
<p>which colleges are you looking at? if it’s the ivies, berkeley, ucla, or uva, you should. but if it’s a public state university, you don’t need to cancel, just retake later.</p>
<p>Lololol. Are you stupid? You could do that because it clearly states that in the instructions.</p>
<p>@skweezy. </p>
<p>No, we’re not allowed to do that. I looked through the blue book instruction pages to be sure and their example of 2/3</p>
<p>or even .67 is </p>
<p>1st column blank.</p>
<p>If you’re referring to me making this ■■■■■■■■ mistake then YES, I am stupid :). </p>
<p>@ahovahov, I doubt they’d do anything for just me. I don’t mind all that much though, because frankly, I didn’t prep well enough for writing.</p>
<p>@udubhuskies. Ivies! I think I’ll go with canceling. </p>
<p>Would you guys say May 20th to June 2nd is enough time to adequately prep for really just the writing section and look over geometry?</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter which column you started in. I’m 99% sure. But in your first example you said “3 (first column) / (2nd) and 7 (last)” there were 4 columns, and I think the numbers have to be next to each other.</p>

<p>Man did you scare me 
I always grid the answer from left to right ;)</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter the rules clearly state</p>
<p>“You may start your answers in any column, space permitting.”</p>
<p>@HSClassof2013, sorry I mean 3rd column.</p>
<p>@DinhNyguen and findavincent THANK YOU SO MUCH. I’m really stupid…</p>
<p>Hey you got my name wrong :-s maybe I should consider changing the account name :-s</p>
<p>Sorry for the typo, DinhNguyen! It’s kind of weird though that on that picture, they don’t show a 2/3 starting from the first column. That and the fact that ‘decimal answers’ has it’s own special title seems suspicious.</p>
<p>Just wondering, do you guys think I’d be able to fully prep for the SATI by June 2nd? Writing is the main source of trouble for me; CR and math could use some practice but don’t worry me as much.</p>
<p>it’s because it takes of 4 spaces. 7 is one space / is another 1 is another and 2 is another…</p>
