IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. You MUST ALWAYS write down the substitution that you are putting into your calculator on your exam paper. If you don't you WILL lose marks.
  2. The answers given by the site are currently not always to the correct precision. For the avoidance of doubt give all answers to 3 SIGNIFICANT FIGURES UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. Monetary values should always be given PRECISELY to the NEAREST PENNY, rounded to 2dp correctly.
