Yes, a non programmable calculator is allowed to save time.The arithmetic is not that complex anyway.It is just that you have to find the special key and relationship to the question.about Mayjun 09 paper,i have ques paper 1&2 and answer key for it.My paper 1 answer key  even has detailed explanation for the difficult question which is not given in CIE marking scheme ,very helpful indeed.
