Calculators in Examinations
Which calculators are permitted in Exams?
Not all UNE exams allow the use of a calculator, but where they are permitted, your unit coordinator should let you know prior to your exam and the exam paper will have this clearly stated on the front page.
Where calculators are permitted, there are restrictions on the models allowed. If you bring a calculator that is not on the list of allowed models, you will not be permitted to use it and a replacement will not be provided, so it is important that you take note of these restrictions.
From Trimester 1 2013, the permitted models list that UNE will use is the NSW Board of Studies ‘Approved Scientific Calculators for the Higher School Certificate Examinations’ found at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/calculators.html#scientific-hsc
This list has been used as most School leavers will already own an approved calculator, and it is updated around August each year.
Please ensure that you note this requirement and check the current listing should you need to purchase a calculator for your studies at UNE.
