Hewlett Packard HP12c calculator

12 August 2011

The HP12c calculator has been reinstated as an approved calculator for the September 2011 and April 2012 exams.

Following a review of the student handbook, it has come to our attention that we agreed to give one year's notice before we remove a calculator from the approved list, to give students time to become familiar with an alternative. We have regrettably failed to do this in the case of the HP12c. Therefore we are reinstating this as a calculator that can be used for the September 2011 and April 2012 exams. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

But please note that you MUST still ensure that you use a correct calculator, in accordance with the revised policy or you will receive a zero mark.

We have received some concerns from students regarding the removal of the HP12c calculator and we would urge you to submit your comments to either your Student consultative forum representative or the Exams team for further consideration over the coming months, or the previous decision will stand and be enforced from September 2012.

All calculators approved for the Profession's exams may be purchased from the eShop.
