AFAIK, you are not required to know any units of measurement. If there is any conversion involved, it will be given in the question itself.

Mostly, all units in the question will be the same (like all $ or all £ for currency etc.)
If, at any point, the question expect you to convert lbs to Kg, the conversion will be given in the question.

Hi there,

I prepare students in Brazil (for more than a decade), and it seems to me that all necessary "conversions" will be given BUT the ones below:

1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 foot

Therefore I suggest you know these two by heart.

Regards,
Fábio.

P.S.: we must also memorize the (relative) values of "pennies, nickes, dimes, quarters and dollars" , for sure.
