| Use the symbols | * / ^ | to form compound units. The usual rules of commutation and association apply. |
| Units are case-sensitive. e.g. milliliter is | mL | , not |
| 1.672 m | 167.2 cm | 1672 mm | 1.672E+3 mm | 1.672E-3 km | 1.672E+9 nm |

| For example, if the correct answer is 1.002 kg, then 1002 g will also be accepted, whereas 1.002 g will simply be graded "incorrect". If you entered 1002 G, you would get the warning "Units incorrect". |
