Acceptable calculators include four-function, scientific, or graphing calculators, as long as the calculator does not have any of the prohibited features. Grade 3 students with IEPs or Section 504 Plans may use calculators if it is an accommodation written into the IEP or Section 504 Plan. I made a picture of the inside, but I don't have a great camera, you can clearly see the differences/resemblances though, to the two models Dave reviewed.Students in grades 4 - 8 are allowed the use of a calculator on all portions of the mathematics test. By default, once it's charged, it can easily go 15 seconds without light while doing calculations, it seemed futile to change it, since it needs light to turn on anyway and if there is enough light to turn it on, it'll keep functioning and if the light gets so dim it won't function anymore, another minute or two of calculation power won't save me. ![]() And I did briefly consider switching the electrolytic for a bigger model, but never got around to it. It has the looks of the old version - It uses plastic keys instead of rubber ones - It gets the same calculator forensic score as the solar II (9.000007164 which is what caused me to check it out a bit more, it also has very fast 69! response) - The inside is a hybrid of the old solar and the new solar II (electrolytic cap and row of ceramic caps, new chip, old lcd) When I first got it, I opened it up of course, because, you know. The reason I'm posting here now, is that my fairly recent European version (about 2 years old) seems to be a bit of a hybrid between the old version and new version Dave reviewed just now. I spend quite some time looking into what the most convenient scientific solar calculator was, a year or two ago, and that thing is just brilliant. For those occasions where I do need something else I use the CASIO fx-82solar, the European version. Once you're used to its functioning, you can calculate most things just as fast as on any other run of the mill scientific calculator. Anyway, I usually use a Ti-nspire cx CAS for my calculator needs, it's simply amazing and does pretty much everything you can imagine and more. ![]() At university you are expected to deliver the same quality in your projects and exams as a regular student (who has nothing else to do but schoolwork and partying) while at the same time at work you are expected to deliver the same quality of work as other employees who get to relax in the evening). (I wouldn't recommend it to anyone: working and going to university in a science or engineering field at the same time, unless you have some real passion and perseverance. I'm not quite there yet, still have a master's thesis to complete next year, but hopefully after that I can get back to actually having a life. I happened to stumble upon Dave's channel and got bitten by the electronics bug, went back to university to get my electronics engineering degree while at the same time having a job as a working student. I'm a computer science major who wasn't quite satisfied with that line of work. Probably won't be posting a whole lot in the near future either, I tend to lurk until I can contribute some new insight, which is rare around these parts, smart people here. I could have sworn I signed up over a year ago, I even still have the old registration email in my inbox and username and password in my secure account database, so I'm guessing there is some inactive pruning going on every now and then. ![]()
