Can we use a 14 digit calculator for ipcc exam?

08 October 2012

Please tell me if i can use a 14 digit calculator for IPCC Nov. exam??.. My old calculator was 12 digit but its broken now and i bought a similar calcy but it has 14 digits and no tax button.. model number is CT-8814V and the old calculator was CT-8855V .. They have stopped making the old model(with 12 digits) and now we have only 14 digits calculator in shops... i am pasting a link of picture of both calculators.. problem is i don't want to buy a different calcy since my exam is near..

go for 12 digit ....

because my calci was even questioned as it was little different from other's calci ...

even though I was able to convince that it has no special feature for which it's use need to be prohibited...

so if u ever face any such situation it will waste your 5-7 minutes ....and you already know the cost of every minute in exam hall.

good luck

Yeah, actually i don't have a problem in buying a new one except my exams are near and i might not be able to get used to new calcy till the time exams will start.. i can use the old calcy well enough since its 1 1/2 year old .. lol
