Thanks Savannah! Now you have all the knowledge of calculators haha! ☺️

I own bunch of calculators. And I really enjoy using the fx-991ex even though I have more powerful calculators available. The fact that it's solar charged and that it doesn't need you to manage batteries is quite nice. The menus and buttons are also quite intuitive. Like even if you own a graphing calculator for under $20 I would still pick up an fx-991ex just to have as a backup.

[@sarahw1877]

I bought this but was told it needs a ‘distribution’ button?

[@cherry-np9yg]

Thank you for the video, i am actually going into year 12 in September and wasn’t sure about which calculator i needed for alevel maths so this video was really helpful to me.

thought i left this all behind when 2020 exams but somehow i'm here lol proud to say i own all three of the main ones ngl though (although the classwiz is always going to be my favourite - the graphical one just felt too fancy to use day to day hahah)

[@StephenBoothUK]

When it comes to buying a calculator, in my experience the key deciding factor is to ask your teacher “What calculator will you be using in class to demonstrate, when you demonstrate checking using a calculator ?” then buy that. Simple as that. In class you want to be learning the maths and following along, not trying to work out how to do on your calculator what the teacher just did on theirs, whilst they’ve moved on to the next topic. You want to only have to remember the key strokes for one calculator (the one you and the teacher use) not two (the one the teacher just demonstrated on and the one you have). For the same reason, if you can lobby the school authorities to standardise on one make and model of calculator for all maths and numerate science subjects and to try to get a bulk deal with a supplier. This is particularly good where you will be doing GCSE and A-Level at the same institution so the calculator you get might be a bit over powered for GCSE but you save on buying a new one for A-Level and having to learn a new set of key strokes to do the stuff that carries over from one to the other. It also means the institution can buy in bigger bulk and get a better deal. Better a calculator that will last you 4 years (something like the CG50 would probably see you through university as well, so that’s 7+ years) than have to keep buying new ones because you cheaped out on the first one. It is NEVER cheaper to try to save money by buying the minimum that will suffice. Also, spend the extra few quid on the stronger case, look after what you bought.

[@savageone8931]

[@aidanc7975]

Do the better calculators such as the graphical calculator and A-level calculator work with the basic equations you will most likely be doing in the basic scientific calculator? Or do you have to get separate calculators depending on which topic you’re doing?

yes they work with basic calculations! there are different modes you can put the calc in

[@yondabigman4668]

Rules: your calculator must not carry out algebraic manipulation (Imagine 4(x+5) = 4x + 20 except your calculator did it for you) nor shall it be connected to the internet nor shall It be able to communicate with others (yes these calculator do exist) If you want to have the classwiz calculator experience, go into the internet and try to find an emulator of it.

[@urnoob5528]

i dont get it what do u mean 4x+20 do u mean finding the unknown? i can see probably not, so u mean changing the form? idk man the calculator interprets them just the same, i dont see how this gives u an advantage and like, no matter how u put it in, even a basic scientific calculator can solve for a variable

[@tomh8782]

Can you use Texas Instruments calculator for A Level such as the TI-36X Pro calculator or is Casio calculators the only brand of calculators that is recommended such as the Casio FX-991EX Classwiz calculator???

Special devices for special exams is just insane. Think about what you daily need, for everything else you take a computer, maybe an app for your smartphone. The only reason for any other decision is really "it's not allowed in school".

Hi love your videos. So I start year 12 in September and I am taking Maths Physics Product Design and Further Maths. I do the entire maths a level in year 12 with the exam and the further maths in year 13. If you obtain below an A in maths , you have to drop further. With me wanting to go to Imperial, which require an A* in maths , how hard is the workload to get an A or A star in maths in one year. And what tips could you give me. Thanks!!!

[@HarrySurplus]

Thank you so much for watching!😌 I did Maths & Further Maths the same as you’re describing. I managed to get an A in on year! It is hard & there is a lot of work because your fitting everything into one year. All I can say is, keep up with your work and finish any homework as soon as possible. Ask questions in class as soon as there is something you don’t understand. Focus on the topics you finder harder so that you have enough time to perfect them! And use your teachers!! They are there to help you so don’t be afraid of going to them at lunch/study breaks as they will be more than happy to help! But also enjoy the maths because that will give you motivation to study!! Hope that helps & best of luck!☺️
