UNITS used on OAT

I'm writing my OAT in just a few days, and just started some practice tests that use NON-METRIC UNITS!

Are non-metric units (eg. pounds, inches, feet) used on the OATs? is it worth it for me to start memorizing these conversions?

HELP!

I do not recall needing to know any imperial unit conversions.

I there may be a few questions on the PHYS section that has things such as ft-lbs, but no conversions.

Maybe someone who took it more recently can correct me.

I believe zyg0te is correct in that no memorization is needed for unit conversions. If I remember correctly, conversions are provided for some problems; however, you just need to know how to use them in dimensional analysis.

same here. i don't remember having to use any unit conversions for the test.

good luck on the test!

No conversions on physics. It will seem very simple to you.

Thank you for all your help guys!

and yes, Physics was MUCH easier than expected. =)
