Other forms: accuracies
Accuracy is freedom from error. Check the accuracy, a high degree of accuracy, accuracy and precision.
It is not the same as precision, and the difference matters: accuracy is how close you are to the true value, precision is how close repeated measurements are to each other. A scale can repeat itself perfectly and have no accuracy at all.
