The best one is the one you're comfortable with and know back to front.

The Casio fx82au plus calculator. Why would you need anything else? So smooth and shiny, keeps me warm at night.

I have two
One for general math (grpahics casio)
and one for chem/bio (casio82)
they are both quite lovable, and easy to make sense of

Pain having to switch between the two though. And the battery is a pain to change in the 82, you need a screw driver and things, which in a test is kinda a pain...

Bought a Sharp EL-531WH from the school in Year 8 and it's the only calculator I've used. On my second one because a friend broke my other one, but I have other friends who have had the same one for 4-5 years and its still working.

I get all confused when I use a Casio D:

The Casio calculator is so awesome that someone stole mine.

ive got about 5 calculators, whenever i need one i just either steal some1 else's or find one but my good sharp calculator ran out of battery guess ill have to find another one

 

[SpiralFlex]

So you're the calculator thief!

I switched from Sharp to Casio in 09. I don't regret the decision. Casio FX-82AU PLUS is great but I suggest you use what you've been using so you don't get confused or waste time trying to figure it out.

do they check calculators in the hsc cos according to the ppl who were in the advanced 2u class didnt get checked

yes they do (in the actual hsc externals), but given the amount of people they have to screen, its not very indepth.

 

[Gigacube]

They always do at my school.

I've been using the old block casio calculator and i think it's too late to change to the new awesome (i just saw how you can have beautiful looking fractions in those ones recently) fx82au+ D:

 

[LoveHateSchool]

I have a casio.

But wait, how come my casio has never had to have a battery change? I've had it for over 3 years now. What if it dies in the middle of my HSC? How long do the batteries last haha?
