NCEES calculator update Message #1 Posted by Norris on 13 Sept 2004, 1:29 a.m.
NCEES considered possible changes to their calculator policy at the August 2004 annual meeting. NCEES has not yet officially announced the results. However, the Virginia APELSCIDLA Board (don't ask about the abbreviation) hinted at the outcome in a recently-published newsletter, as follows:
**********
During the August 2004 NCEES Annual Meeting, a motion was passed that modifies the calculator policy to state that “only models of calculators as specified by NCEES are permitted in the examination room.” Therefore, in the near future, there will not be a prohibited list, only acceptable calculators will be published, and only calculators on that list will be permitted. Please check the NCEES website for updates.

**********
Currently, the only HP calculators that are specifically NCEES-approved are the 9S, 9G, 30S, 32S, 32SII, and 33S. This list may or may not be subject to change. If it doesn't change, then *all* other HP models will be banned on future NCEES exams, including previously acceptable older models such as the 11C, 15C, and 20S.
