i've done some research but im not sure of the results.....on MS and ES

MS are the calculators that are developed from the ordinary calculators (the not scientific ones) so i guess MS= Modern Scientific

the ES are the newly made calculators, so i guess ES = Electronic scientific

P.S:: those conclusions are mine, so if they r wrong blame no one but me (LOL)

anyone who has done his studies and can donate his time, plz do this

write down the models which are allowed (there might be around 10) and just paste a link to them
that will be kool



thanx for the conclusion
i have never used ES, and i personally prefer MS, because i have been using that from quite a long time (from around 3 to 4 years)
i have to betray my 991 MS  :'( :'( :'(

The best calculator for IGCSE Exams is the Casio FX-82 it has everything you need for IGCSE and for sure examiners will not have problems with it . :)

Theres also a Casio calculator, cant remember the name, the one that has the little solar panels on the top right side, can be used to calculate formulas that inclued X in them like similtanious equations. they help alooot but im not sure if they are allowed in the exam even though i think they are, and will prob be used here. my math teacher didnt really say anything bout it even though he is very fair and quite strict.
When they talk about me they say I be trippin
What they say about me doesn't make me mad 
I think they hatin cause they see me when I'm rollin
Man I can't help it that they really doin bad  =P

Breakin news....

my friends say that their older brothers entered the exam with the fx-991ES.......and nothing HAPPENED!!

so i think anything like this one is OK....i wonder how its ok though, cuz this calculator can do matrices, simultaneous equations and other few things that i dont know yet...but COOL!!
 

so i guess that ur calculator sweetsh (fx-350ES) is allowed cuz its like the fx-991ES
