Why can't you start decimals with a 0 on the grid in section? That's so stupid

<p>Why can't you grid in 0.5 instead of .5?</p>

<p>I made that mistake today and I didn't find out you couldn't until now. Why isn't it counted as correct if your number starts with a 0?</p>

<p>i think they will count the 0.5 on the second grid as .5 in the first. otherwise, it seems i might need to do a retake</p>

<p>Whoa… putting 0.5 will make it wrong? You sure?</p>

<p>That’s what someone on another thread said. There was a question on the SAT that asked for a fraction and I put a decimal that started with a 0. It still fit in the grid boxes. I heard that decimal answers are accepted when they ask for fractions. But I heard you can’t start with 0.</p>

<p>Thats ■■■■■■■■… I think I put all fraction answers though. I hope I’m right.
EDIT: I’m pretty sure you can start with a zero, actually. It would be completely unfair and stupid otherwise.</p>

<p>I think I also had 3 NE’s.
