It’s also worth considering an A-level model, especially if you’re doing the Higher Tier and there’s a possibility that you might continue to study Maths in some form beyond GCSE. This is the best calculator for A-Level Maths and A-Level Further Maths by far, but it does come at a price. With more functions than any other calculator in this list, it’s guaranteed to help you get through exams. This calculator is much more advanced than the other calculators I’ve mentioned, and in my opinion is the best choice. A useful FAQ document on using calculators is also available from JCQ.

Making the move to the fx-CG50Calculators that have language translators in are also prohibited in A-Level Maths, so make sure you’re not taking anything like that into your exams. This is because people can alter these language translators to implement equations, and therefore they can cheat. It also features a solar panel (alongside a battery) to charge, and so there is no worry of it running out during an exam and leaving you helpless. In addition, its lightweight case makes it easy to carry around, so it’s perfect for the hustle and bustle of college life.
