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 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. Upvote 0 Downvote

If I remember correctly, conversions are provided for some problems; however, you just need to know how to use them in dimensional analysis. Upvote 0 Downvote
