Some questions you may encounter in Quest will use numeric answers rather than multiple choicefree 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
...
- Most solution answers are at least six digits (unless significant figures are relevant to the question/otherwise denoted)
- For credit your answer must be within 1% of the correct answer,
...
- unless tolerance is otherwise denoted (so entering in four digits to the right of the decimal is usually sufficient)

Do not include spaces or commas in your answer submissions. Scientific notation should be formatted using "e", not "10". For example, 468 as 4.68e+02. |

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, try to use another way to say the same thing (ie, if used 10^, try e). If you continue to get the 'that response has already been entered' accept that it is not correct and try again. This is a safeguard in place so you don't spend all your tries insisting on an answer that is incorrect.
