when my calculator broke just after my GCSE's finished i was a bit anoyed as it meant i would need to find a decent one for my AS levels and get used to it before the exams.
I got this one cos i trusted the Casio brand and also i liked the colour :P...
the first thing you will notice is that the display is completely different to other calculators. it has a natural display, meaning that what you type in to it will come up on the screen as you would see it in a textbook or on paper. at first it took a while to get used to and figure out where the buttons where. but after i was used to it it made my life soooooo much easier!
And not to worry if you are not normally good with new electronic stuff, the included manual teaches you all you need for this.
AS levels are hard enough! but this calculator actually makes them much easier. having a display that looks like the textbook makes working out and reading off calculations much easier! it also saves time as multiple things can be done at the same time that would not normally have been possible with the old '2 line display' calculators.
Overall if you are doing A levels or anything to do with maths really....this is definately a good buy for you. TRUST me it will make your learning life sooo much easier!!
