Changes in Presentation

Arrows are allowed in doing percentage and rate questions

Arrows are not allowed in other situations

Eg.

100% = 20 (WRONG)                      vs          100% –> 20 (CORRECT)

10 men = 20 hours (WRONG)       vs          10 men –> 20 hours (CORRECT)

Equal Signs are used in units questions and the word “unit”must be written fully instead of using the letter “u” to represent.

Eg.

10 u –> 20 (WRONG)                       vs           10 units = 20 (CORRECT)
