Worst Case Scenario- Calculator Dies In Math Exam. Wut do? (1 Viewer)

[Paleoworld-101]

Seriously this is one of my HSC nightmares. Calculator goes flat battery in the middle of the maths exam.

Would you be able to appeal that or is that your fault for not maintaining equipment?

just bring a spare calculator, happened to me last year doing a business exam, i changed some setting by accident and everything came weirdly.

This happened to me once. I handled it by ripping my clothes off and screaming. It worked and I got 100%.

True story.

That's exactly why I'm bringing 3....

 

[Recondit]

You could always borrow another one from maths staffroom or library (if you can?)

I feel like a bleeding nose is long overdue to happen to me

Bring a spare calculator... sometimes a little technical tap (BANG) can fix up a calculator

 

[Makematics]

I have a spare calculator but not sure if i remember how to use it...

 

[CoooNooo]

Put in fresh batteries the morning of the exam in two calculators and keep one as a back up just in case....

If you're THAT worried just buy another one or borrow another one from someone.

Just use Newtons method to approximate anything you need. That's what I did and I got a state rank.

You can just use Taylor series approximations for sin cos tan e^x etc. It's very intuitive.

1: Bring a spare calculator
2: Hit it on the palm of your hand multiple times
3: Hit it on the table multiple times

1. See if you can get a spare
2. Write on your exam paper: 'soz my calculator broke'
3. Then from then on, you take





And you're set
I hope you remember all of that stuff from primary =)

Use hand/old traditional methods. Or you could bring a potato.

 

[LoveHateSchool]

I brought two calculators and I'm happy I did because mine started glitching a little and I swapped.

 

[Squar3root]

[NWO]

We first bury your calculator. Then we bury you. Then your uncompleted HSC paper. RIP mate
