Or you could just stick a new battery in before going into the exam.

Batteries may not be the only reason for it to stop working. I don't know about you, but there's no way i'm gonna risk a whole year of my life for no reason.

hmm...true that, but its unlikely, and also my calculator is one of those two powered calculators, which can work on solar power if the batteries go flat.

Aside from a dead battery, or the after-effects of flinging your calculator across the room in despair, I can't think why a calculator would suddenly stop working in the middle of an exam.

Well my casio did, in the middle of an assessment last year.

 

[Shoey]

Weird. That would really suck

Yeh, though luckily my teacher let me borrow his.
