I haven't done it out but it looks fine to me.

We only found out last week you can use your calculator to find the modulus and argument for complex numbers. Only saves a couple of seconds but still.

It's easier on Casios, you win this round.

This year and particularly the time since school ended until now has honestly been one of the worst and least enjoyable times of my life.

It never quite hit me until I finished my first exam that this is it. I am never opening a book in a classroom again, never having info spoonfed into me. I dunno I guess even graduation didn't quite hit home that this was the end of the line for that sort of thing. Looking at the books now and they might as well be thrown out.. such a weird feeling. And I didn't even like school.

Yeah definitely does feel weird I couldnt be happier about it though. Just want to get on with my life now, school was okay but I dont understand all the 'best years of your life' lark. All I remember is stress

Most things are

My only issue with them is the fact that it doesn't have a dedicated pi button.

It could easily come up in our Paper 2 This is revision.

IMO they'd be better off if they just reduced the tax on vodka in accordance to the saving

No pi button? You might as well be carrying a plank of wood around.

Just leave the pi out.
Sharp for intelligence.
Casio for simplicity.

I'm pretty sure €66m covers both LC and JC. It'll be a whole less soon with the JC gone.


But yeah, that's how much it costs. And they only take in around €9m from exam fees.

Just happened to buy a Sharp, little difference anyway.

When you think about it's not even that much. They have to pay a supervisor for about every 30 students, have to pay people to correct every exam, have to pay the 4th/5th years to make tea (:rolleyes:), have to organise the distribution of the exams throughout the country, have to pay people to make the exam and they have to pay for all the printing of exams/booklets et, and I probably left out a few things there.

I'm actually surprised it's not more.....
