which calculator is allowed in math 0580 IGCSE exam??
fx-991ES or fx-85ES ??
if both of them are allowed, then choose the two options (in the poll)
our math teacher said that we cant use fx991ES, so i just want to make sure.

Take whatever calc you want into the exam. Just make sure it isnt a graphic calculator and dont go asking around if your calculator is allowed.
Anyways, you're marked according to the workings and not simply a correct answer.
-
not about working, but wat if the calculator is not allowed???
then i will be disqualified, right?

No one is going to check.
As long as you DON'T bring in a graphic calculator you'll be fine.
Also, I doubt any of those calculators has the potential for solving algebraic equations.

fx 991es can solve quadratic equations.
and equations of the form:
anX + bnY + cnZ = dn
anX + bnY= cn
ax^3 + bx^2 + cx +d = 0

And no one needs to know that....

okay

actually i have both of them, i bought 85es cuz our teacher said that we cant use 991es, but we can use 85es.
but i think that 991es isnt allowed in AS and A, am i right GG ?

i hope i can use it there,anyway its not like it can do anything other than quadratic equations

not a bad idea to check your answers is it :P
-
6aba3an wa law , dam 3indak ilcalculator lazim 6aba3an :D :D ;D

yes good idead to WASTE ur time checking each and every answer with the calculator.
Check twice dude or maybe thrice, np u will solve 50% of the paper correct, and u won't solve the other half cuz time will be over.
Advice: trust urself don't waste time checking ur answeres, and when u finish the paper, u can check ur answers with calculator.
991ES is not allowed in AS/A.

I disagree.
-
checking all ur answers WHILE SOLVING is just a waste of time, better to recheck ur paper after u finish it
-
i solve every question and revise it once before moving to the next one and i take from 1:30 - 1:40 or so.and when i revise i mean that i revise the whole working i did,and is it really not allowed,i dont think they would check for the calculator
-
well, everyone uses his own way.
991ES is not allowed in AS/A. i dont think they will, but wat if they did?
-
i keep it in my folder and i take it out when im in the exam hall :D sha3'el mo5ak o onsob 3alehom :)
-
ur not taking AS math anyway, so why are u asking about it? :)
ok onsob, and again a lil risk is there, better be on the safe side
-
only graphical calculators are not allowed else are allowed

991 ES is allowed. Some of my friends used it in their maths exam (A/AS level).
It depends on personal preference, but I tend to check my answers instantly after solving each question because it is quicker. Most of the time, using this approach, I will have very little spare time after answering the question paper. But it works better for me.

our math teacher is always giving out wrong information :-\ :-\
i will take both of them!

then take the calc which is comfortable for you

Indeed.
i will take both of them for cie, better to be on the safe side.
but mainly i use 991es.

k then prefer more 991es

ya i just asked you i don't know Arabic so
it's k no prob

Our math teacher said the same thing.. he also said we might be allowed to use fx-85ES either o.o'
But.. it's ok to use fx-115MS

one thing i say it is not necessary to use any specific calc
you can use any calc
-
I used 991ES. It's cool yeah. Without the algebra one.

wat do u mean by "without the algebra one" ?

It was not algebraic.

it as 8 modes:
1: comp
2: cmplx
3: stat
4: base-n
5:eqn
6:matrix
7: table
8: vector
which modes are not allowed?

Read this.
Due to the sheer number of different calculator models available worldwide, Cambridge cannot confirm which models are permitted in our exams and which are not.
Where the use of calculators is allowed in examinations, calculators used must not be able to manipulate algebra, they must be purely numerical integration/differentiation. Calculators with any of the following facilities are prohibited, unless specifically stated otherwise in the syllabus:
graphic display
data banks
dictionaries or language translators
retrieval or manipulation of text or formulae
QWERTY keyboards
built-in symbolic algebraic manipulations
symbolic differentiation or integration
capability of remote communication with other machines.
Cambridge will regard the use of any such calculator as malpractice. Students requiring more information should contact the exams officer at their school.

i donno these ^

Check it. You have it, right ?

i donno wat these functions are, thats why i donno it can do it or no

Imma Going to Take My Casio fx-991 es along with my oldie Sharp EL-531WH

That's integration in the screen.

Look at the name :P

this can be done with 991es, so it is not allowed :(
but why do we need integration in IGCSE ?

If you want to use it, make sure your teachers are dumb. ;)

he is not, but he allowed us to use it in mocks
problem is: he will not be there :P
some ppl from the british council will be there
