What is the policy on the use of calculators in exams?
The use of authorised, silent, cordless non-programmable calculators is allowed in exams only if the question paper permits it. Such calculators may contain simple memory functions for use in the course of calculation.You will need to seek approval for your calculator prior to your examinations by a representative of your School, who will identify approved calculators with a tamper-evident label.It is the responsibility of the candidate to bring the calculator to the exam room and to ensure that a spare battery is available. In all cases calculators must be silent. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in confiscation of your non-approved calculator, or, in extreme cases, exclusion of the candidate from the examination.
