- For scientific notation, use E to specify
exponent.
For example if answer is 7.52x10-6, enter
7.52E-6
- Enter no spaces in numerical field. This means no space
before the E if scientific notation is being
entered.
- Units are case sensitive. If units are supposed to be MV,
then mv will not be accepted.

- If answer requires T-F format,
For example, if there are four parts and the answer is
true-false-false-true, enter
tfft with
no spaces.
- If answer asks, "which are true?'',
For example if there are statements a,b,c,d,e,f
and b and d are true while the others
are false, enter
bd with
no spaces.
