Can I use 2 calculators for my Edexcel A-Level Mathematics exams?

I have a Casio CG50 graphing calculator that is useful for plotting graphs but can be time-consuming and hard to use for statistics.
I also possess an FX-991EX classwiz scientific calculator that I am much more familiar with and can be used at a faster speed.

I was wondering if I would be able to take both calculators to my maths exams this summer. If someone knows the answer can they also provide me the source of their information (preferably from Edexcel themselves).

Thanks.

There is no source of information I know of to say you can simply because there is no examination regulation that suggests you cannot. They don't for example limit the number or pens and pencils you can have. If you are worried, ask your exams officer to confirm it is OK.

i always take 2 calculators - my a level and gcse one for radians/degrees and polynomials/normal arithmetic
shouldn’t be a problem - my maths teacher advised us to use two during exams
