The minimum-specification calculator with the required Binomial and Normal distributions is the fx-991CW. While this is adequate for the exam, a graphical calculator confers many advantages in both learning and exam performance.

There is a powerful immediacy of learning for students having technology at their fingertips. A graphical calculator is more powerful than a mobile app and more readily available than a computer. A calculator can be taken into the exam, giving confidence in checking answers to graphical questions. Many schools have discovered these advantages for their students.
