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.
