Casio fx-83EX is a great school calculator!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...will be some useful functions on these type of calculators (like solving quadratic equation and drawing out graph transformations etc.) that you cannot do on the Casio fx-83EX. But even now, at university, i still keep this calculator as it is so easy to use and has useful functions that you sometimes don't even get on the very expensive calculators! I would definitely recommend this product! Another last note is to say that to be honest, you don't even need to bother with the instruction manual as it is so simple to use and it is a commonly used calculator in schools so the teachers are bound to know how to do everything!...

Casio fx-83MS

Advantages: simple, easy to use
Disadvantages: outdated

...This is the Casio FX 83MS Scientific Calculator, for typical use at high school level. This is what you need to keep up in maths at school at GCSE level and beyond. The extra functions of a scientific calculator are necessary for this level of work and are still useful even if you just want to use a calculator simply. Anyway, that applies for any scientific calculator, now what about this one? This is a Casio which is a good sign straight off. Casio is one of the leading brands in the scientific calculator market keeping one step ahead of the rest at all times. Now the recent 'natural display' releases from leading firms are a definite improvement on these originals as they show fractions in the form they are written amongst other things but this is still good enough. There are many different versions of the Casio scientific...

Casio FX 85 ES

Advantages: The new casio natural display and solar power
Disadvantages: I'll explain in the review

...Ok the Casio FX 85 ES is simply put the best calculator available on the market that can be used in exams. Casio have recently been working with the Joint Examination board to ensure it's new "student" calculators do not break the rules-so no worries there students! So this natural display-what is it? Basically it allows you to type on the screen as if you were writing it in your book, for example squares roots are real on there and you can do fractions properly. I find it incredibly easy to use and it has gained me an A so far in my A-levels (i'm not that clever honest). Personally i wouldn't read the instructions-merely use them for reference and work everything out on your own-it's easy enough. The calculator boasts all the normal functions including memory storage, radians degrees and gradians functions...

Review of Casio FX 85 ES

The ultimate tool in mathematical calculation!

Advantages: Easy to use, large screen, large buttons
Disadvantages: not solar powered

...The Casio FX 83 ES is a definite must have for all those taking GCSEs or A levels. Although the Casio FX 83 ES is a little more expensive then most other calculators on sale, the Casio FX 83 ES is capable of everything from the standard addition and subtraction to more complex things like trigonometry and algebra. The case is very slim so the calculator does not take up a lot of space in bags or pockets while at the same time being very durable and able to withstand damage. The Casio FX 83 ES features a natural display that is capable of holding much more data then more normal calculators, as the screen is side scrolling to allow extra input of data. All the buttons are well labelled using colour-coded text showing whether they relate to the shift or alpha buttons. These markings are hard to scratch off so you will always know what...

All you'll ever need

Advantages: User-friendly, natural display, long-lasting batteries
Disadvantages: Probably can be confusing for inexperienced mathematicians

...I have now owned the Casio fx-83ES for many years, it's gotten me through my GCSEs, my A-Levels and is still going strong now I'm halfway through my Maths degree! This calculator has all the functions you will need to complete practically any Maths qualification, and plenty more to boot. What really sets it apart from the competition is the natural display, which allows users to see clearly what they are doing, as opposed to other calculators which can get confusing. The memory stores your previous calculations, making certain complicated processes a doddle. The calculator is battery powered, the batteries in mine have lasted many years without needing to be replaced. Simply put, if you're studying Maths from GCSE level onwards, this is a must-have!...

VERY USEFUL!

Advantages: QUICK AND USEFUL FOR STUDENTS>
Disadvantages: CAN BE QUITE HARD TO HANDLE FOR INEXPERIENCED

...This has done me well for a couple of years now. Has been very useful and touch wood the battery has lasted. Hopefully it will last longer but I have had another Casio calculator and that has served me well too. Not the smallest of calculators but are very mathematical and are brilliant for working out the difficult equasions and sums and are useful for key stage 3 exams, GCSE's, A level's etc. I will not be changing my calculator unless the battery runs out. From my opinion, Casio are very reliable and so is this calculator. It looks good and just has a good feel about it. Once you get used to it, it can be very handy and easy to use. Also value for money. Thumbs up from me!...

Casio Calculator

Advantages: Good Price, Does that it says it will, Solar powered
Disadvantages: None that i can think of

...I bought this calculator at my local woolworths as i was after a scientific calculator and one that was cheap(i paid under £10 for this one which seemed a good price). The calculator is made by Casio which are a well known brand for making anything from calculators to TV's . The dimensions are 84x155x12mm and it is a light too which is a bonus. The keys are large enough for most people and all the writing is clear on and above the keys. This scientific calculator with has 249 functions (164 scientific functions) - including statistic functions. It is primarily aimed at secondary school student but i reckon it will be fine for almost any function unless you need the functions of a graphic calculator It is solar powered so it doesn't require any batteries in order to function however as with all solar powered products,you just...

Disadvantages: None

...~~~~ Overview ~~~~ I?ve owned my Casio fx-83WA scientific calculator for almost 10 years now; I purchased it when I started year 8 at secondary school back in 1998, and after years of abuse, including long divisions, algebra and simultaneous equations, its still going strong, even might I add on the original batteries!!
