well i got the fx-350MS/fx-95MS/fx-570MS........

i got the above 3 and i guess the fx-570MS in the best among them......i got newer calculator (better as well) as fx-991ES


this calculator thing is getting on ma last nerve....WE CANT DECIDE!!!  >:(

yeah..even my teacher said its good to use fx-570MS.why dont theyj ust  give  us a list of calc. which is allowed in the exam?its much better so we don't need to think and bother about calculator and we can concntrte more on preparing the exam  itself. o.0

They ask you to show your working you will get no marks for having only the final answers
