Student-Produced Responses

Grid-In Practice

Not all math questions on the SAT are multiple-choice. For one type — called a student-produced response (or grid-in) -- you have to find and fill in your own answer.

No Penalty for Wrong Answers

No points will be subtracted for a wrong answer to this question-type, since there are no multiple-choice options.

Compared to Other Question-Types

Grid-ins are like regular math questions. They cover the same subject areas, and they range in difficulty from easy to hard.
