susanne Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 probably the second one; the first one looks like it's for Maths Studies (no offence intended) ;it's better to have a accurate one than not Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flinquinnster Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 My impression was that you do not need to know exact values for exams, so your first set of values is probably fine. Frankly, I don't think that they will care if you are 1 or 2 decimal places off. Also, the 2dp percentages you cite vary according to the source you use! For example, this picture has slightly different percentages to the ones you've listed. So yeah, I don't think it matters to much as long as you are close. But I'm not sure, so 1dp would be a good compromise for what you should learn your values to Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezak Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 From all the questions I've done I've never seen them forcing you to remember these empirical values. You never know but I doubt they will ask you anything that will have you know these by heart. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lero Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 If you are really keen, memorize the first, I really see no point memorizing the second set. I attempted exam papers for the last ten years and I don't remember anything requiring those values on the exam. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
