All calculators must be silent (except in approved cases for blind candidates), hand-held, and battery- or solar-powered. Instruction booklets or cards (eg reference cards) on the operation of calculators are not permitted in the examination centre. Candidates are expected to familiarise themselves with the calculators operation beforehand. Features of approved calculators In addition to the features of a basic (four operation) calculator, a scientific calculator may include some or all of the following: fraction keys (for fraction arithmetic) a percentage key a key memory access keys an EXP key and a sign change (+/) key 2 square (x ) and square root () keys logarithm and exponential keys (base 10 and base e) x y a power key (a , x or similar) trigonometrical function keys with an INVERSE key for the inverse functions a capacity to work in both degree and radian mode a reciprocal key (1/x) n n permutation and/or combination keys ( Pr , Cr) cube and/or cube root keys parentheses keys statistical operations such as mean and standard deviation metric or currency conversion.
Features that are not permitted Calculators with the following features will not be approved: programmable (any calculator that can have a sequence of operations stored and then executed automatically is considered programmable and hence not allowed) capable of storing alphanumeric data input by a user (this does not exclude calculators with memories that are used to store intermediate numerical results obtained during calculations and required later) capable of storing, manipulating or graphing functions entered in symbolic form (this includes calculators with a graphic display capacity) capable of performing hard-wired numerical routines for operations such as differentiation and definite integration, and the solution of equations capable of performing hard-wired symbolic manipulations such as addition of algebraic expressions, binomial expansion and symbolic differentiation.
