    I am taking the PM exam and I am wondering if for the section A & B questions where it asks you for a figure and is not multiple choice, will the computer accept a range of answer? Depending on if you round your numbers or how many decimal places you use in the calculation, you can get different answers.

    Please can you answer urgently.

    Unless the question is specific about the number of decimal places, then the computer marking will allow a range of answers.

    Thanks John!
    When a question asks for a specific number of decimal places, are you supposed to round the number or just read off the first 2 decimals?

    If it wants 2 decimal places then you should round to the nearest 2 places.
