For the TypeHeight, I tried entering 1.8 and 1.82 but they kept rounding up! tried changing the format from integer to decimal but that reversed the problem; Now it rounded down! really screwed up with my queries and reports

Bro there's this nice site I got from a mate, basically this guys explains the entire Part A and Part B of a past paper. There of course no point of watching the Part A videos but the Part B one is really useful. I'll add the link.

You had to change the Field Size to Double, and then change number of decimal places to 2, thats what I did and it worked for me, but the exam as a whole wasn't great. Messed up the relationships, thought I got them right but then couldn't write same data twice so had to change the whole thing and it was just a mess. Finished Activity 1 with the relationships screenprint before finding out they were all messed up, majority of Activity 2 managed to finish it. Didn't leave myself with enough time to start Activity 3 and 4, I had no clue what to do anyways so just decided to do Activity 5, the evaluation for some extra marks.

What i did for that was change the data type as number was rounding it and then i put the validation rule of “between 0.6 and the other number” and it worked for me
