During reading time or as you're getting your material out, the supervisors come and look at your calculator. They take of the case and check if there is notes or anything.

I wonder what would happen if you bring a calculator into the English exams because the calculations in paper 1 are pretty challenging.

They reset your calculator before the exam commences so either before you enter or when you sit down during the period of getting ready.

Do they check the calculator model? If yes, do they check that calculator's function ? like expressing surds in its simplest form.

OMG wait are you esl?

Some esl chic at my school had the simplest surds thing and the teachers banned it coz it's not fair or something. Get a new calc for hsc and don't risk it coz I don't think it's approved maybe :/

Obviously they check the model but they don't care about the calculator's function cos they simply reset everything.

guys, only these calculators are let in: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/calculators.html

also, a person who got state rank in phys from my school last year when into the exam and he stored important constants on the data sheet on his calculator and it helped him save time..... so, I think the supervisors at my school don't check or reset calculators except maybe maths :/

Yes. I'll tell you my calculator model if I got through this. The BOS will include my calculator features if they see it .
