The basic rules in filling up the name grid are as follows: 1. Write only one letter in each box starting with the first box at the left. Below letter Z are and dash (-). 2. Enter your last name first, then your first name(s) in the allotted box and finally your middle initial in the last box. If you are a "JR", "III", "IV", etc., write it immediately after your last name but leave one blank box in between. 3. If your last name consists of two or more words such as dela Cruz, delos Santos, San Ignacio, etc., write your last names leaving a blank box between. Likewise, if you have two first names write them leaving a blank box in between. 4. If you have long last names and/or first names fill your names up to the last box allotted for your last names and first names. 5. There are two columns for the middle initial. If you have two or more middle names write only the first letter of the first and second middle names (e.g. SJ for San Juan). If you have one middle name, write the first letter in the first box at the left. Pause. Let the Examinees follow the instruction, then, say: If you have filled in your surname, first name and middle initial, blacken the circle below each box which corresponds to the letters written in the boxes.
