i think its just graphics calculators.. our teachers did say the battery for graphics calculators must be taken out before exam
but not the ordinary scientific ones!!

soz bro fx-991 ms isn't allowed
it's got differential, equation AND vector, matrices calculations
i think it's counted as a graphics calculator

If you think this will have a significant impact on your results, resit it in the next May/june session. Now, you have to make sure that you get it in Chemistry.
