You may also encounter some parts of the exam that ask multiple questions about a single given scenario.<\/p>\n<p>When inputting in your answers, you can answer in fraction or decimal form and will not need to reduce fractions to their lowest terms, but mixed numbers will need to be converted to improper fractions. For these questions, positive answers can use up to 5 characters, and negative answers can use up to 6 characters, including the negative sign. Instructions are available in Bluebook during the test.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/university\/sat\/\" class=\"mobile-ad\" style=\"color:black;\" onclick=\"_paq.push(['trackEvent',
