what happens if you bring in 3 calculators and they all stop working, even after continuous banging and potato-rebooting attempts?

Well do what Im planning to do. Buy a new calculator from the canteen (or wherever) the day of the exam and then bring my old one just in case. It's better to waste money buying a new one and using it rather than having just your old one and it dying on your or breaking during your exam (happened to me in my chem trials >.>)

Just change the battery the night before your exam to a fresh one. Doesn't hurt to have a spare calculator though, try to borrow one of a sibling.

Your canteen doesn't? Obvs not a selective school.
Apparently a couple of years ago the canteen at Baulko accidentally sold a whole grade an international version of some calculator which it turned out was banned and had to replace them all.

Wow your new avatar freaked me out because I was like who is dis moderator?!?

But srs, should be right if you put a new battery in, if yours is a bit old calc, borrow a calc of a sibling/lower year person not doing their HSC for the exam or buy one.
