ALLOWABLE CALCULATORS FOR WRITTEN TEST

Each candidate may bring one hand-held, non-programmable, non-qwerty, self-contained scientific calculator
for use during the written test. A voltage supply will not be available in the examination room. A cellular phone
with calculator functions will not be allowed.

Calculator guidelines:
 During the test, only scientific calculators may be used.
 During the test, only scientific calculators that are not programmable may be used. Programmable
calculators may be identified by their alphanumeric capabilities or QWERTY keys.

Alphanumeric or QWERTY keys are the keys on a calculator’s keyboard that consist of the
alphabet letters A to Z.

Non-Programmable scientific calculators - ALLOWED
Modern scientific calculators generally have more features than a standard four or five-function calculator.
Although the feature set differs between manufacturers and models, the defining features of a scientific
calculator include scientific notation and trigonometric functions (e.g., hyp, sin, cos, and tan keys).

Some non-programmable scientific calculators may have a limited number of alphanumeric keys (e.g., A to
F; X, Y, M). They do not feature keys with the full alphabet (A - Z). See the example below of an
acceptable non-programmable, non-QWERTY scientific calculator:

Casio fx-350MS
Non-Programmable Scientific Calculator

SAMPLE
Programmable calculators – NOT ALLOWED
Programmable calculators are capable of storing text or alphanumeric data input by a user, and are also
capable of external communication or internet connectivity. Programmable calculators display the full
alphabet (from A to Z) on their keys. These calculators are NOT allowed during the written test. See
example below:

HP 50g
Programmable Graphing Calculator

SAMPLE
Calculator with QWERTY keys – NOT ALLOWED
Calculators with QWERTY keys also display the full alphabet (from A to Z) on their keys. These calculators are
NOT allowed during the written test. See example below:

Texas Instruments
Voyage 200 Calculator
