A University in Canada has approved the WP-31S already Wink

http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-230...authorized

The WP31s is approved for use in class exams (on the surface). If some professors knew or understood that the calculators firmware may be compiled and replaced by the student, then it would not be permitted (there is a level of distrust if the calc can be 'changed'); having said that, if my son brought the WP31s into class (physics or chemistry) exam(s) he would probably not be questioned at all (because its not graphing, and it clearly does not have comm, printer, nor memory stick capabilities.

The NCEES is another kettle of fish entirely. Those folks decide a year in advance which calcs will be permitted for the next exam year, and if the calc can be modified (repurposed, reloaded) its not going to be considered; sad but true.

Kind regards,
