yes, i have one class where it doesnt matter what calc u use, but since you need one cacl for every other course you still end up using that one.
Casio got a hell of a deal with McMaster.

It is a good calculator anyways been using it since high school. MUST be casio fx 991-ms. Depending if invigilator is a hard-ass, even a casio fx 991 isn't allowed

The calculator is over-priced (I think McMaster gets a healthy cut, no doubt), but it is great and really easy to use once you learn it. There are also several shortcuts for constants and conversions listed on the lid. That won't help you during a test/exam since you have to take the lid off and put it away, but it saves lots of time on assignments.

Overpriced? Its a fair price; the only place you can get a better deal on a regular basis is somewhere like Canadian tire. |

You should learn that anything that is sold at titles is overpriced. Just go to staples. Right when school started it went on sale for 16 bucks. Original price..20? Titles I'm guessing was 21-25 range
