Re: Graphic calculators!Ok brilliant, i was just wondering:(Original post by chemicalX)
Definitely worth it! In fact i dont know how you're going to get through C3,C4 without it.
- How long do they take to learn functions?
- Will i loose marks in the exam for not putting method marks?
- Which calculator would you recommend?

What is banned is the "graphical" sort i guess, but i'm not sure whether this includes TI-nspire or TI-84; because these are non-CAS and they are allowed on other equivalent exams like AP, SAT, ACT etc.. Otherwise, I think a calculator is expected cause some questions basically require one.Last edited by vakanuvis; 07-05-2012 at 00:48. -

Re: Graphic calculators!You can pick up a decent Graphical calculator for less than £50, think mine cost me around 25-30 several years ago a sharp one.
They are worth getting, just to check your answers more than anything. You can also write notes and things in them which may be helpful in maths and other subjects
