Hi All,

Can someone please tell...do we need to cram the conversion that happens between gallon/pits, ounces/pound,....etc. and similar not frequently used units....

Does GMAT gives the convesion required between these units of measurements...?

Thanks
Mohit

The only conversions you need to know are among units of time (60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, etc). While it's possible to see a unit like kilometers or ounces on the test, if you need to convert it, they'll always tell you the conversion - otherwise the test would be unfair to people unfamiliar with those units.
