Permitted Testing Aids

Candidates whose native language is not English may bring a printed bilingual dictionary into the test for use in Section I and  Section II only. Any candidate taking up this option must submit the dictionary to the Supervisor for inspection before the test begins.

A non-programmable calculator is permitted, though not essential, for use in Section III only.  If you are concerned your calculator is programmable bring it with you but also bring a basic calculator as a back up.

Guide to Identifying Programmable Calculators

Functions to look out for are:

·         A graphics function

·         Keys or buttons with alphabetic letters associated with them.  These allow letters and words to be entered.

·         Generally programmable calculators are thicker than non-programmable ones

·         A large screen can also be an indicator

                .         Two lines of text on the screen 

Programmable calculators are usually old; computers have replaced many of their functions.
