Description and Message:
Hi all,
I am doing my Cert 3 and am a bit confused with this question. I'm not sure if the indicators I have are right or not, I've been to a lot of sites and they're all pretty similar. I was just wondering if I'm on the right track with what I've got. Are the common indicators just the listed indicators or is there a site that might help me out a bit more?
I could have just over-thought the whole question and now I've gone to a few too many sites and confused myself so I'm just looking for a bit of adivce.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
