2 graphical calcs for A-Level maths and FM exams?

I have an fxcg50 and fx991cw atm and im curious wether It would be worth getting the fxcg100 too, so then I can have all 3 in an exam, I think that maybe having one on a graph then the other to use to do complex calcs based on it, or graph two different things on both so I can analyse, and then just have the 991cw for quick calcs. Maybe i just really want the fxcg100, and im crazy as the fxcg50 is enough. Please help.

I did my Maths A-level with two calculators. Neither of them were graphic calculators. One was a spare in case the other one died on me. I remember I did end up using both calculators at the same time, but only very occasionally. The truth is you only need one. Two is nice, I would bring two calculators just for safety, three seems overkill though.

Does the fxCG50 work on AAA x 4 batteries? 😧 Because I have the fxCG100 with 8 batteries and a charger which can connect to my computer via USB.
