Did anybody else not use a calculator at all? (1 Viewer)

[Dumsum]

Man, I just realised I didn't even need to take a calculator to today's exam, since I didn't use it anyway. Absolutely no question required it...

 

[Antwan23q]

holy shit! it happened to me 2...

 

[KFunk]

Yeah, I got to the end and realised I'd barely touched it.

 

[thunderdax]

Yeah, I only used it to check the answer in 6b (v). You think BoS is trying to send a message?

 

[chinesefireball]

Looking back at pass papers most of them call for using calculators - this tends to be true for extension 1 as well, although it generally has one question you need it for (+ combinations coming to think to it)

I used mine, but only to check some trig things and a log a think = nothing i shouldn't been able to do in my head

 

[Stefano]

Yeh, same.

 

[dangerousdave]

2^5, i cant do that in my head. In fact i used my calculator a fair bit, i'm hopeless at mental maths.

 

[Aznpsycho]

I use the calculator to convert decimals into fractions, and do powers, and add stuff quicker. It's simply a tool to get the job done quicker and more reliably.
