The GREs don't allow calculators, either, which strikes me as terminally dumb. For heaven's sake, if I get a question wrong because I understood the principle but forgot to carry the three? What does that prove, besides the fact that I can't read my own writing?
yes mam... That proves nothing... nothing I TELL YOU except that the test makers suck. Well good luck on the ole GRE I have actually taken a few practice tests and it is difficult but do-able. Once you learn how they ask questions, you can answer those questions. I am sure that you will do fine :-)
Heard a rumor of a fellow who took the polarized film out of his calculator and put it on the inside of his glasses. When he was challenged about the calculator's presence, he demonstrated that it did not work, and was only a mnemonic aid. Of course, to someone not wearing polarized lenses, the calculator appeared broken since they could not see the numbers. The guy who had the polarized glasses, though... Of course this comes with the caveat that I endorse cheating in all of its forms outside of friendly competition. In the real world, the guy who doesn't bend the rules and cheat where he can winds up being roadkill. Anyway, we all know how I would have handled this situation- buy murdering the proctor, using her corpse as some sort of weird totem, and if any other jack-holes came up and bugged me about my calculator, I'd point to the defiled corpse and say "She said I could use it."
