Question

does any1 no if calculators are allowed to be brought into the junior cert maths exam ? tanx XxXxXx

Answer 1

Yeah calculators are definitely allowed. I would recommend the Casio Scientific calculator fx-83ES as it has a function to do those long slightly complicated sums where you don&#039;t know which part to do first because there is brackets and fractions and everything. I used it in June and it was brilliant. It also does the scientific notation. In the exam hall they will give you a log table with the trigonometry tables and the shape formulas in it. They also give you the graph paper but you have to bring your maths set. Good Luck.

Answer 2

yes, they are of course! you have to write the name of the make of your calculator and it&#039;s model number on the outside of your answer  booklet.

there&#039;s a few calculators that aren&#039;t allowed - but they&#039;re very rare, and hard to find so it&#039;s likely you have a standard one! the only ones that aren&#039;t allowed are ones that plot graphs for you!
