How do I enter a student-produced response on the SAT?

For student-produced response questions, solve each problem and enter your answer as described below.

If you find more than one correct answer, enter only one answer.
You can enter up to 5 characters for a positive answer and up to 6 characters (including the negative sign) for a negative answer.
If your answer is a fraction that doesn’t fit in the provided space, enter the decimal equivalent.
If your answer is a decimal that doesn’t fit in the provided space, enter it by truncating or rounding at the fourth digit.
If your answer is a mixed number (such as $3 \frac{1}{2}$ ‍), enter it as an improper fraction ( $\frac{7}{2}$ ‍) or its decimal equivalent ( $3.5$ ‍).
Don’t enter symbols such as a percent sign, comma, or dollar sign.
