Can there be a `Litmus test' for determining the nature of transition in models of percolation? In this paper we argue that the answer is in the affirmative. All one needs to do is to measure the `growth exponent' $\chi$ of the largest component at the percolation threshold; $\chi < 1$ or $\chi = 1$ determines if the transition is continuous or discontinuous. We show that a related exponent $\eta = 1 - \chi$ which describes how the average maximal jump sizes in the Order Parameter decays on increasing the system size, is the single exponent that describes the finite-size scaling of a number of distributions related to the fastest growth of the Order Parameter in these problems. Excellent quality scaling analysis are presented for the two single peak distributions corresponding to the Order Parameters at the two ends of the maximal jump, the bimodal distribution constructed by interpolation of these distributions and for the distribution of the maximal jump in the Order Parameter.
