Sir... I myself don't know how to find SD frm it. I found it out while reading the functions book of the calculaor. I tried to find out but I too didnt understand it.. And don't buy it now, just a week before your exams. You'll get confused. Anyways, you have to show the working. The calculator will just provide you an extra help in checking your answers. if you are giving addmaths. Tou us mein bohat faida ho ga. Since I used the calculator to ensure 40 marks in the paper.

Your choice. Fx 991 ms le lo. If you are well set with the functions in es tou ur choice since I don't use es series calculators.. But you shud have one ms calculator in the examination room incase the invigilator takes away ur es calculator :p

If you are not giving AddMaths, I'll recommend you to stick to 82 series.

Timing is crucial!
If you aren't familiar with ES series, get MS.

I guess by timing he means that u have ur exam very near so if for eg u buy a calculator u r nt familiar with u wont be able to practise how to use it in such a short time and hence in the exam u may face problem and waste time !!

Take FX-82MS in any case, to be on the safe side.
But as some examiners do not check the calculator model, so take any other calculator-a good one of your choice (other than graphical)!!!
This will work for sure :)

If luck is there with you, it is DEFINITELY possible, but y do the wrong thing!!!
Just use FX-82 MS...

i dont Know why you people ask again and again one thing


everyone has told you that FX-82 Ms is the best calculator and fully accepted


so why dont you people get that one instead of saying no that is also accaptable that has better contrast ,,that has better keypad
STOP BEING CHILDISH :D

and buy fx- 82 ms not even costly
