Is EX and ES the same...Uxair said EX :!:


Sorry i wrote EX instead of Es
edited the post to reduce further confusion :)

i do agree with all of you that Es calculators are relarively easy to use and have a better contrast but from the very first day i have been listening that Es is not allowed in any paper :)

FX-82MS & FX-82ES are officially allowed.

FX-570MS/ES & FX-991MS/ES are all prohibited because they can solve full length equations!

What do u mean by full lengh equation?
Even 82 Es can solve F(x) and give u graph's coordinates.

@UxaiR: Check the revision date on that list!

@SAUD: Full length equations mean equations with unknown parameter 'x'.

@Creed: Fx-100MS is NOT ALLOWED!

FX 82 ms & es, both are allowed. But you can take any calculator to the examination room. They don't really check. I used fx 991 ms in Maths, Stats and Addmaths. And no one stopped me. Plus I got all A*s even after writing the same model number on my paper. So just get a calculator with whose functions you are familiar with. I won't advice an ES series calculator since its too obvious and a good invigilator might take it from you.
Btw if you know how to use an fx 991/570 ms calculator's functions, finding mean and standard deviation becomes easy. There are specific modes to find SD by just entering the values. So calculator models do make a difference.
