LOL our school advised us to get the calculator which can integrate as a back up in the exam (even though I can do calculus comfortably, why not make sure!)
I guess it's like that but just want to check. Don't really want to wind up with my calc confiscated - but at the same time if the CX CAS isn't banned, I want it!
I could have formula written in bright orange ink all over my calculator during my exams and no one would do anything. You have to love lazy lecturers..
I have a TI-83 and i'm pretty sure (but not certain) that it can't perform symbolic integration/equation manipulation, though it does ofcourse integrate between limits, draws graphs and is very handy for FM as it will do sums involving complex numbers i.e. give me the answer to (1+2i)^2 if i type that in.
Is it banned or legal in AQA mathematics? Need a urgent reply please if anyone knows as i plan on using it tomorrow for two mathematics exams!
Today, I was in isolation with a couple of other people because I had S3 and C3 at the same time. The invigilator read a book for the 3 hours of exams. And my graphical calculator's never been checked, even though it has a really obvious USB port on it that can be used for installing programs.
Nope, I know - I wouldn't have bought it if I couldn't use it. I'm saying that the USB port allows me to download stuff that isn't allowed, and the invigilators have never checked that I've cleared the memory. Before the exams, I had some notes stored on it, as well as symbolic differentiation/integration.

Oh okay.
Same deal with my nspire, it has a 'Press-to-Test mode', I've always used it but I've never been questioned about it.
I had spreadsheets stored for Statistics, until I took S1 and read "no retrievable docs" on the front, so I used PTT then and have since.
