Which calculators are permitted in exam venues?

Only calculators from the following ranges are permitted for use in exams:

• Casio FX-83
• Casio FX-85

As long as your calculator has the above prefix, then it will be permitted (i.e. any letters/numbers after ‘Casio FX-83’ is acceptable eg Casio FX-83GTX is permitted).

No other model of calculator is permitted (eg Casio FX-82 or Casio FX-99 are not allowed). The calculator model must be able to be identified.

For School of Engineering students only:

In addition to the Casio FX-83 and Casio FX-85 ranges, students based in the School of Engineering are also permitted to use the following:

• Casio FX-991 EX
• Casio FX-991 CW

(Not permitted – Casio FX-991 ES Plus)

Please note that if you already own a Casio FX-83 or Casio FX-85 then it is not essential that you purchase one of the permitted Casio FX-991 models above. Engineering exams will be designed so that any of the permitted calculators can be used.

Students from other Schools are not permitted to use Casio FX-991 calculators for any exams.
