I switched from engineering to econ after my second theoretical physics class. This has been my front line of defense for the last 3 years

Low light + too high ISO + too short shutter time + too small aperture = underexposed, color noise saturated picture destined for the trash bin.

Edit: Actually, he's probably using his phone camera so it's not really incompetence. He's just lazy. :laughing :laughing

Whatever, yo. HP Calculator Mafia repreZENT!
 
Assuming you are still in school for engineering...do yourself a favor and trash that calculator and learn to use one that you can actually take the exams with.

1. What is the calculator policy? What calculators may I bring
to the exam?

Only models of calculators approved by NCEES are permitted in the exam room. No other models of calculators are permitted in the exam room. The following are the only calculators that will be permitted in the exam room for the 2008 exam administrations.

Casio: All fx-115 models. Any Casio calculator must contain fx-115 in its model name.
Hewlett Packard: The HP 33s and HP 35s models, but no others.
Texas Instruments: All TI-30X and TI-36X models. Any Texas Instruments calculator must contain either TI-30X or TI-36X in its model name.

Each year, NCEES will review and revise the approved calculator list and then announce the updated list by November 15.

Suit yourself. Personally I'd rather be intimately familiar with the look and feel of the specific calculator I was taking the exams with instead of going in with an untested unused different model. One less thing to worry about.

They may be keystroke identical...but they look nothing alike (some of the keys are in different locations, so I don't know what you mean by keystroke compatible). So even though you may think you will be able to use it with the same efficiency, every wasted moment is one you don't really have to spare.

All well and good, except those can't be used for the engineering licensing exams either.
