Some questions you may encounter in Quest will use numeric free response answers that you type in. The following example is a numeric type question on a learning module slide, but these questions can appear on all types of Quest assignments.
- If your instructor has allowed retries, you will be given 7 attempts
- For credit your answer must be within 1% of the correct answer, unless tolerance is otherwise denoted
- Most answers are at least to six digits (unless significant figures are relevant to the question/otherwise denoted)

Do not use symbols in solutions (ie do not use $ in monetary solutions, but you can write 'dollars'-or the specified 'answer in units of ---- ' stated in the question, after your numeric answer). Comma use is fine. Start with at least four significant digits for numeric entry; your response must be within 1% of the correct answer unless otherwise designated Scientific notation may use the format of "e" or "x10^" If offered, use the function pallet. If you don't see the pallet, plan on entering an actual number calculated out or simple expression (ex: 3x-5). |
For applicable practice, your professor may opt to include a short 3 part question (sig fig practice, #222082) for you to get use to what is and is not acceptable:
Note that if you get a 'that response has already been entered' message, to try to use another way to say the same thing (ie, if used 10^, try e).
