Example : If we consider the multiplication problem 98 * 26, even with strong calculation skills, it would take about 20 seconds to solve it using the traditional school method. However, with UCMAS abacus, students can solve it within seconds (around 5-6 seconds).

After modular training, students can solve such problems mentally without requiring a physical abacus. They learn to visualize and manipulate the abacus beads mentally.
