As far as I'm aware, the best calculator you're able to use for any maths module is the Casio fx-991ES Plus. No graphic calculators allowed, and no calculators that are capable of symbolic differentiation or integration. I have taken M1 and I know this to be the case for that module, however I'm not 100% certain for M2, although I would be very surprised if they did allow them.

There is also the Casio fx-991EX which may be better

Are you sure you are not allowed a graphics calculator? when i go on the AQA past C2 paper it says you may use a graphics calculator. Or have the rules changed?

What are you going to be doing in the future? Will you need a graphic calculator?
If you wouldn't then I'd say get the Casio fx-991EX (I'd recommend this over the 991ES)

Im an electrical engineering apprentice doing a level maths from home in my spare time.
I use a casio fx-CG 20
You won't really use a graphical calculator at all for M1 and M2 but if you're planning on doing core modules or the further pure modules then they're great for checking your integration/differentiation and most importantly drawing graphs.
I have a TI-84 Plus and it does everything I need. If you're planning on getting one I'd look at second hand since they're expensive new - got mine for about £50 on ebay I think.

Firstly, I'm male
And I'm not currently an Exams Officer but I am aware of the current calculator regulations.Regarding graphics calculators, some are allowed and some are not.
I've attached a guide which gives a general idea of the calculators allowed for GCSE/A Level.
