Calculators

So I'm on AQA for A-level maths, I know there have been lists by other exam boards such as EDEXCEL on the subject of banned calculators, I'm wanting to get a new one, mine's a bit battered, had it since the start of secondary school, but are there any regulations on which ones are banned, i.e. graphical/top-end scientific ones?

OP

so would the FX-991ES (Casio) be banned? or is "numerical" intergration/differentiation allowed in comparison to "symbolic intergration/differentiation? Does it manipulate symbolic algebra either?

Main additional benefit is the equation solver which is great for checking work and a real time saver for factorising polynomials

I've ordered it! So a calculator which is better than the original is not banned, whereas the other one is... hmmm >_>
