Examinations Regulations Regarding the use of Calculators and Dictionaries

[holtadit]

WOAH !! IT WORKS

What else can my calc do ? What other things... I know i can do simple algebra with one variable.

WHats VCT on the No. 5 key ? Tell me everything !

[Ghost Of Highbury]

VCT = Vectors.
U can also solve quadratic/cubic equations with ur calci. Do permutation combinations, solve simultaneous equations.

Its impossible to tell you everything here. Borrow the manual from your friend and xerox it.

I have the  CASIO fx-991ms with the solar panel.

Can it do matrix questions ? If so  could u please give me a small demo on how to do it... i disappeared my manual

[Fastal]

using calculators for matrixes in the igcses is allowed?

[SGVaibhav]

the models which r supported -- do not allow u to do matrices

usually legally, they say u should use any casio FX which has less than 100MS, so u cannot use 100 MS. and all calculators which support matrices, r above 100 MS such as 991 MS and 570 MS ..

but for us the invigilators had no knowledge, nor she never checked the calculator cover..
she just told us to write the calculator numbEr on top of the exam paper.

so one guy used to bring FX 570 MS and used to write FX 82 MS

[Fastal]

so legally you cant use calculators which can do matrixes. and to be on the safeside you should have less than 100 ms right?

[SGVaibhav]

yes fastal, that was the case with us....

i was thinking that if i could record a video somehow to show calculator functions ...
i know many functions in calculators, which seniors in my college graduating dont know as well...

give me suggestions for recording...

[gaurav95]

How can one calculate matrices on calc pls tell fast.........

It depends on what subjects you're taking. English or other language exams never allow dictionaries or thesaurus. But subjects like ICT, Geography, Economics, Laws, Science, etc will do. Check with the invigilator before walking into the exam room.

Well yea, I brought a dictionary in for my Coordinated Science paper 6 the other day just to make sure. The invigilator checked it before I entered the room and it was allowed.
