Examination approval

The vast majority of the calculators we supply are permitted for use in all national assessments in the UK. The only exceptions are the advanced graphic calculators that have in-built Computer Algebra System (CAS) capabilities.

Science Studio’s approval logo means you and your students can have confidence in choosing and using an ‘exam-safe’ calculator.
