"I am in good financial standing at any schools" - applying to a US high school

Hello everyone, i'm currently applying to a US high school and I was given this question in the application:

Are you currently not in good financial standing at any schools?

So if I mean "I am in good financial standing at any schools", should I say yes or no ??

i'm not a native speaker and I'm always confused about these kind of questions. Why do they always add a not in a question ??

thank you in advance..

I would think of it as, "Are you in BAD financial standing...?" Then answer accordingly.

Ha ha, they did a bad job of writing the question!!


Ha ha, you are great. I definitely agree...

Well, I don't want you to not think it isn't better if you don't choose not to use not in a sentence, but... I definitely don't not understand your confusion.

Okay, just kidding about that.

Just write a sentence: I am in good financial standing with all previous schools.
Or if they make you answer "yes" or "no" you should do exactly what mqgstan said:
Answer "no" (i.e. I am NOT not in good financial standing.) It will be okay. :-)

I think you should the questiion according to your real financial condition


good question !
