as far as i know one can use a calculator application which is part of test application - it opens in a new window and looks much like a regular windows calculator.

you aren't permitted to use your own calculator, including watch calculators.

Hi,
during the computer-based test you will be provided with both a real calculator, which you will find on the desk, and an on-screen one, as said in the previous post.
Please note that any keyboard shortcuts for the calculator do not work.

Hope it helps,
Cheers,

Ok, now if you need to calculate various sums, and then check which one is you answer, how do you do, do you have a have a summer memory to remember which of the sum you've calculated corresponds to the right answer, or are you allowed to note thing calculated with the screen calculator on a sheet of paper, so as to then decide whihc sum is right?
That's what I really would like to know.
I have also seen numerical excercises which imply using unknow variable, like, say X = total population, and so to find X you need to use things like X = 72,1/1045 = ec...
How do you do that with just a simple calculator on screen?
??

What's wrong with using Excel? No one is going to use the calculator when he/she gets a job at EU.

No, you can't use Excel during the test! And you're also given a little erasable white board to write on so you don't need to have a super memory.
