No, I just read the rules myself. No calculators allowed. I know what you mean though, some of the physio questions definitely need a calculator too, but I think they expect us to figure things out on our own. Most answers are designed in such a way, that as long as you get the first number, you'll get the question right. ( I just did one, the answer was around 7, the only option was 7.2 and that was the right answer)

I don't remember a single question on the boards that required you to do calculations you couldn't do by hand. It won't be THAT crazy.

does this still apply? no calculators allowed and that there weren't crazy calculations? some of the practice problems with hendersen hasselbach, or solving for y in oxygen disociation or even cardiac output make me want a calculator.
