help!! Just Had A Question Re: Math On Nclex...
i'm Doing Pharm/math Calculations, In School They Taught Us To Round Up... Wasnt Sure If Nclex Wants That Too?
when Doing Practice Questions.. Most Answers Are To The 1st Decimal Place... Is It The Same For Nclex?
can Anyone Help Me Find Out The Answer To This? Thx In Advance!

Be sure to read the math calcuation question(s) carefully to the end and you will be able to figure it out. :wink2:

Read each question very carefully because the instructions will tell you if you need to round off. Sometimes it was to the nearest tenth, sometimes the nearest hundredth, and sometimes to the nearest whole number.
