The answers given below are based on the NECŪ. If you find your answer is very close to what is given, then you are probably doing to problem correctly.

Depending on how many decimal places you leave in the calculator as you do the problem, the answer you get might be slightly different. When you take the actual exam, you will be given a range of answers to choose from. If you have made an accurate calculation by leaving all the decimal numbers in the calculator as you complete the problem, the correct answer will  obvious.

If your answers are substantially different from what is given, you might want to ask around to see if you are leaving out something from the problem.

Lastly, if you find an error in the below answers, drop a note or email to me. I will be happy to look into your question. With your help this diagnostic test workbook can get better over time.
