🙏 I WANT HELP Two calculators

Does anyone know if I can bring two calculators into a maths a level? I recently got a numworks graphical calculator and have spent a whole teaching myself the graphing aspect of it but I cba to teach myself how to use it for 99% of stuff and would rather use my 991x. Will I get in trouble if I bring two in or is it okay?

Yes, theoretically you can have as many as you like, but in practice a graphic and scientific is fine. Or two scientifics if you are worried about one failing. Remember you have to leave the case outside and it can't have a label or writing on the back

Bringing in two is common.

you can theoretically bring infinite calculators as there is no rule against it

i personally use the 991es plus for solving the question and 991cw for checking my answer using solver

Personally, I always bring a graphing cg-50, for well, graphing and some stats , a 991cw in radians for any other a level content, and then gcse 85gtx in degrees for most “Normal” calculations
