Man, I just realised I didn't even need to take a calculator to today's exam, since I didn't use it anyway. Absolutely no question required it...

Yeah, I got to the end and realised I'd barely touched it.

Yeah, I only used it to check the answer in 6b (v). You think BoS is trying to send a message?

Looking back at pass papers most of them call for using calculators - this tends to be true for extension 1 as well, although it generally has one question you need it for (+ combinations coming to think to it)

I used mine, but only to check some trig things and a log a think = nothing i shouldn't been able to do in my head

I use the calculator to convert decimals into fractions, and do powers, and add stuff quicker. It's simply a tool to get the job done quicker and more reliably.
