Calculator policy
Use only calculators on the HKEAA Approved List, bearing the 'H.K.E.A.A. APPROVED' (or older 'H.K.E.A. APPROVED') label. Programmable scientific models (e.g. Casio fx-50FH II, fx-3650P II) are allowed, and you MAY keep your own formulas/programs stored in memory — HKDSE does not require you to clear it. Graphic-display (graphing) and CAS/symbolic calculators are not on the approved list and must not be used.

Many students lose critical marks not because of a lack of knowledge, but due to structural and conceptual slips. Understanding the examiner's mindset is your biggest asset on exam day.
