I would just carry the clipboard around with blank sheets and any slides/assignments that I needed each day. When I got home I would take out the notes I made that day and transfer them to 3-ring binders.

You can also buy the calculators at Canadian Tire or Staples. They are generally cheaper than at Titles.

If you are talking about the Calculator it's the Casio FX991 MS. There is also an ES.

If you're talking about which store, just keep your eyes peeled for a good deal! Canadian Tire sold it for cheap last summer. I think Titles sells it for around $24 (so anything less than that). |

Does it really matter if I get FX991MS or FX991ES? Is it mandatory to get MS or any from FX991 series?

All of my course outlines only say FX-991, they don't specify whether it's MS or MS+ or ES or whatever, but the one that Titles sells (and the one that nearly everyone has) is the FX-991MS. So, while any in the FX-991 series should technically be fine, the MS is safer. As someone wrote on here recently, you really don't want to be stuck wasting time in an exam trying to explain Mac's calculator policy to a nitpicky invigilator who's wondering why you have a different calculator than everyone else.

Just get the FX991MS, because during a test time, the people supervising you will not allow you anything thats not familiar to them.. some professors will also only allow that specific calculator because of certain features it doesn't have.
