A levels Computer Science

Can we or are we allowed to use calculator in our A levels Computer Science exam?
Of course its not required in Computer Science but it may need for Number System and for calculations for file size and so on.

No calculators at all.

I know at GCSE they accepted 1000 instead of the more precise 1024MB/GB etc so that made calculations easier.. Not sure if they still accept that at A level

It depends on your exam board. For OCR's new AS/A-level spec (H046, H446 (from 2015)), I know that both papers are non-calculator.
