One of the key points at the exam (and whilst flying too), is to be accurate.
Firstly why did you pick departure from rwy 25 (5.6%), when the question is asking departure from rwy 07 (4.7%) ?
Secondly, when you multiply 5.6 x 160 = 896, not 840 as in your post.
A few advices..
Do it slowly, but be accurate, not fast !
Double check your results and do the sanity cross-check too.
Once you get accurracy, the speed will come with (accurate) practice.
Before posting a question, confirm whether the answer is in irex errata page.

Hii then,
You're right...my mistake 840, should be 896.
Soo it doesn't matter what height they give me to climb to like the one in the question 2500ft, but the main idea is to focus on which runway to used if mention and its gradient??? Even if the gradient used is up to 1500ft not 2500ft?

The question is referring to SID plate For runway 07 with 4.7% climb gradient...yeah you're right it's 4.7%..its the initial climb gradient of Runway 07..
