Dunno how your flying school does things, but mine did everything with the fuel in Litres and Kilograms rather than Gallons and Pounds. In any case your POH is more than likely in the latter. That being so, take the time to go through the climb and cruise performance tables, convert everything and put it on an excel spreadsheet. Print it in A5 scale and it will fit neatly in a normal sized POH. Not a dodgy trick, I showed my CFI and he approved, and it will save you valuable minutes of working out in the planning stage (in case you haven't guessed, we weren't allowed to use block fuel flow for CPL planning ). You will never do such a thing in the real world, but hey, if it gets you through the test that's all that counts, right?
