Length of Time in the UK

This is potentially a very silly question but I am going to ask it anyways. I am doing my ILR in a few weeks' time and always do a "practice" application a few weeks out in case I come across any odd questons.
Anywho, low and behold I came across one question in the application (Set O) which asks how long I have been in the UK. I've been here for a total of 7 years, 3 months by the time I do my actual application but my application is based on my initial Tier 2 entrance (original T2G valid date of Nov 17 2013/entered the UK on Nov 18 2013). I originally came over here on a Tier 5 YMS for which afterwards got sponsorship from a new company and has nothing to do with my 5 year continuous residence in the UK. Should I be putting my 7 years, 3 months total or should I be putting my 4 years, 11 months given this is based on the T2G 5 year route?

There are two similar but different questions with regards to your dates / time. The first one will ask you when was your entry date ob the visa on which your ILR application is based. This is the starting date of your first Tier 2. The second question in another section I guess will ask you how long you have stayed in the UK. This is where you put the total period you have spent in the UK

Thanks - there is indeed separate questions on the form. Will include the time I spent on my T5 YMS in this particular section. I plan on submitting that passport anyways
