answer sheets or on an answer booklet provided as an insert in the question paper.

can use a calculator if they want to.
Invigilators should check a sample of the candidates’ calculators before the start of the exam
to make sure they comply with our regulations in section 5 of the Cambridge Handbook.
For Associate Centres we may, in consultation with the relevant Cambridge Associate, issue
specific local regulations for the use of calculators. Where this happens, the local regulations
will override any other regulations.
