How it's used
Focuses on the alignment between a measurement, statement, or action and the actual reality. While it functions as a standard adjective, it is often used in professional or technical contexts to describe data or timing. When describing a person's ability to hit a target or predict something, native speakers frequently prefer the more colloquial term 準.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 準時, which specifically refers to being on time. Using 準確 to describe a person arriving at the correct time sounds unnatural, as it implies their arrival is a measurement rather than a scheduled event.
