Accuracy

Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Accuracy in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: AQA
How close a measurement is to the true value, and using equipment such as a digital clinometer rather than a manual one reduces human error.
