Good Point

Who else hasnt replaced their batteries... just in case (Murphys Law; if it can go wrong it will go wrong and during the exam is never a good time. Ever.)

 

[word.]

bring an abacus in case it breaks down

my calculator seems to screw up and never turn on sometimes... however after i hit it against the desk, its all good again... i hope the examiners dont mind

 

[Trev]

Yeah, I realised the other week my calculator wasn't board approved.
I've got a new one now and i'm still not used to it... mmm

 

[icycloud]

My advice is to bring two calculators into the exam.

 

[rama_v]

Yeah, thats my plan as well..cant go wrong with two calculators
Plus I just changed the battery in my calculator last week

 

[gosh]

i just found out that my calculator is not board approved for this year. its an old calculator but its been on the list for like ages. it was approved last year and in 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 and as far back as 99. i am so pissed off, ive gotten used to it and now like Trev, i might have to buy another one. im going to see if i can get around this and its not like its programmable or anything. very dissapointed....

Lol! Why not?
I bet the board of studies has a column for "board approved abacuses"

 

[l-mercedes-l]

whats an abacus?

 

[Riviet]

whats an abacus?

An abacus is a calculating frame with balls sliding on wires used to add and subtract simple sums, it is a very old device used before numbers were invented.

 

[l-mercedes-l]

Another reminder to everyone

DONT FORGET THE + C DURING INTEGRATIONS

you don't need to write +c, it can be +a,+b, etc as long as you label "where (letter) is constant"

you don't need to write +c, it can be +a,+b, etc as long as you label "where (letter) is constant"

ok u can write +a or +b or whatever u want and "where (letter) is constant"
