The actual display is quite small but it is very clear as it is has a horizontal flashing line as opposed to vertical which is very mathematical and it allows you to clearly see which mode you are in at the top. ~~~MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS~~~ This calculator is fine for daily use e.g. totting up bills, but in terms of academic maths, I only recommend it for GCSE Maths and not for A-level. This is because although it has all the modes which are relevant like radians, but it doesn't leave answers in surd form which...more

Casio FX 85 MS: We Have Been Through Tough Times... (823 words)
by - written on 04/02/08 (Very useful, 117 readings)

This calculator has been with me through the hardest times. When I was studying maths and sciences, I needed this calculator, especially for maths and statistics to get me through the exams. It went through some mind-blowing exams with me and we both survived the journey! I love my calculator, and it works brilliantly. I customized it when I got bored by putting Tip-ex on it in a certain pattern, and then later colouring it in with highlighter pens. I also stuck some stickers on the back to lighten it up. Anyway, this is a proper scientific calculator that is ideal for current examinations up to degree level. It has 240 functions with 164 scientific functions ...  Read the complete review

Casio FX 85 MS: Built to last! (528 words)

I have had this calculator for as long as I can remember, and it has truly been a loyal companion on my mathematical voyage! ~~~EXTERIOR~~~ The actual body of the calculator is made out of navy blue/black soft plastic, it measures 7.5cm in width and 13cm in length, so it is quite a big calculator but it isn't as chunky as some of the old models of calculators. Although it isn't exactly chic, it is very functional and the buttons are colour coded such as black for functions, light grey for modes and dark grey for numbers etc. This is great for inputting functions quickly The buttons are slightly hard to press and aren't exactly ...  Read the complete review

Casio FX 85 MS: Everything you want from a calculator (308 words)
by - written on 28/10/09 (Very useful, 45 readings)
Rating:

I bought this calculator in year seven to start secondary school and it managed to do everything I needed it to do right through all seven years at school including doing maths and further maths at A-level and its still going string studying maths at university. It has lasted remarkably well for its age and all the more for the fact that it was left in the side pocket of a bag and dropped and kicked around all the time. It comes with a protective cover that slides of the front and can be put on the back to keep it safe while using it. It has done a brilliant job and the front is hardly even scratched. The back and the case are not looking new but by no means ...  Read the complete review

Scientific Calculator (389 words)

I have still got my calculator from school having done maths and sciences at A level. It is a scientific calculator that proves to be very useful in subjects such as statistics and pure maths. It is very easy to use once you get used to it because everything makes sense. The bottom of the calculator features all the numbers needed and symbols for working out sums. The important keys are highlighted in red, which are AC/OFF and Delete. The delete key is a real bonus and very useful if you make a mistake in a long sum so you do not have to start over. The calculator is great for long sums, with the use of brackets too. If you know how brackets work, ...  Read the complete review

I have had this calculator since I started my GCSEs - that's over four years ago. I have used it right through my GCSEs and A levels and it still works in the condition it did from day one, which is quite astonishing. It's a very reliable gadget and popular amongst students even to this date. It is great for all subjects ranging from mathematics to physics and business studies. It has many functions, which enable you to perform a variety of different things. The calculator is dark grey and comes with a lid, which simply slides over the buttons to protect it. When using the calculator, you can slide the lid onto the bottom, so your calculator comfortably sits ...  Read the complete review
