Banned calculator?

I'm currently doing the ocr fsmq, I am in year 11. I have bought a graphical calculator but I'm wondering of I will be allowed to use it. It is the: ti nspire cas. It was as Christmas present and I have used it in class however I don't want to be caught out in the exam

You should talk to her and ask how she feels - we can't really help you here because we don't know what's going on in either of your heads.

Check your uni regulations for examinations, generally there is a separate document with a list of allowed calculators.
They are allowed. I've used them in exams. Invigilators didn't give a damn.
Don't even think about cheating with them.

While many graphical calculators are OK for all exams, Calculators with CAS capabilities ARE NOT allowed in any GCSE, Add Maths or A level exams.

CAS means it's capable of computer algebra, so it's not allowed.

Wrong thread mate
it is on the banned list for AS and A levels:

https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-a-levels/mathematics-2017.news.html?article=%2Fcontent%2Fdemo%2Fen%2Fnews-policy%2Fsubject-updates%2Fmathematics%2Fuse-of-calculators-in-the-summer-2016-exam-series&pageTypes=

so it is quite likely to be banned for FSMQ :dontknow:
