3.  Special Notes: 

a) For groups A-4, A-5, A-6 and A-7: Calculate the group index (GI) using the equation shown below the classification table.  If GI is negative, it is reported as zero.   

b) For group A-7, the Plastic Limit (PL = PI - LL) is the differentiating factor between A-7-5 and A-7-6.  This is expressed in terms of Plasticity Index (PI = LL - LL), which you already use for classification.
