Calculators

The examiners regulate for their respective examinations whether pocket calculators are permitted. If no separate regulations have been announced, the examiners assume that each candidate has a scientific calculator with the usual mathematical functions (basic arithmetic operations, percentage, squaring and square root automatic, power function as well as logarithmic and trigonometric functions) when setting the examination tasks. Everyone is responsible for the functionality of their own scientific calculator.

Calculators that allow the storage of texts are not permitted. This excludes all calculators that do not have the full alphabet on the keyboard. Furthermore, CAS calculators are not permitted. In cases of doubt, a candidate must make the calculator available for examination by the examination board at the request of the invigilator after the examination. A list of permitted devices is published below. The list is constantly updated and handed out to the invigilators. If there are any doubts regarding devices that are not yet approved, the above-mentioned web page will provide appropriate information for a possible check.

The use of non-permitted devices constitutes an attempt at cheating, which will be punished in accordance with the examination regulations.

    Note

    Calculators such as those on the list of unauthorised calculators may prove to be a useful aid during the course of your studies, but they may not be used in an examination.

    If the calculator you are using is not on this list, please contact the WiSo Student Service Point (WiSSPo).
