Hesi A2: my school allows calculators?!

[Samn337]

I've been reading that calculators are not permitted on the hesi a2 entrance exam. Today I went to go sign up and as I was going over the guidelines, it says, "Calculators are PERMITTED"...

Did any of you guys take the hesi a2 and calculators were allowed? And if so.. Was it a basic or scientific calculator ?

When I took mine we were not allowed to bring a calculator, but there was a basic calculator built into the testing program that you were able to utilize.

Good luck!

pretty sure it meant that it will have one on screen. i've never heard of anyone using their OWN calculator. Although i have heard of couple people say they didn't have/use a calculator which just sounds brutal...easy problems or not.
