Guidelines on Use of Electronic Calculators in PSB Academy Examinations
1.
Only calculators that perform numerical, scientific and/or financial calculations are allowed.
2.
The calculator must be silent, with a visual display only.
3.
The calculator should not contain any unauthorised materials, e.g. instruction leaflets,
formulae printed on the lid or cover of a calculator or similar materials during the
examination.
4.
No programmable calculators are allowed. Programmable calculators are calculators that
allow the user to write and store programmes in the calculators.
5.
No calculators with permanent features of a programmed kind are allowed e.g. calculators
capable of numerical integration, numerical differentiation, and/or expressing in irrational
number form.
6.
No calculators with communication features are allowed, e.g. calculators with the capability
of remote communication via infra-red, blue-tooth or other communication media with other
machines.
7.
Candidates are not allowed to use electronic dictionaries/translators and Personal Digital
Assistants (PDAs) during examinations.
8.
No calculators with capabilities for storing and displaying graphic and/or audio information
are allowed.
9.
Candidates are not allowed to borrow calculators from one another for any reason during
the examination.
Standard scientific calculators are acceptable and students are required to use the list of approved
models of scientific calculators found in Annex A.
We noted that Annex A may not include newer models of the approved calculator models and you
may check with our Student Services Centre should you need any clarifications.
Please be informed that the examination invigilators reserve the rights to:
a) Confiscate any calculators which may deem to have unacceptable features;
b) Stop any candidate who has retrieved stored information/program from a programmable
calculator from taking the examination;
c) Take other necessary disciplinary actions in response to any use of suspected prohibited
calculators.
