Are we allowed to use a calculator on the MCAT, because going through the KAPLAN prep book, there seems to be no way someone can do the questions without a calculator
Nope. No calculator. Lame, huh? start working on logs, square roots, multplications, long division, sig figs, etc.
ITS GONNA SUCK, and IMO is a pointless rule to have. What does that accomplish/prove? They could at least let us have a non-scientific calculator that does basic math.
Math on the MCAT is easy. You're not allowed to have a calculator because you don't need one.

Yeah, I agree with ryserr.
Anyway, this is an MCAT question, so I'm going to move it to the MCAT forum.
Everyone says "It's not that hard/complicated/difficult math" .. but at the same time, that calculator is WAY faster allowing the test taker more time and also is basically error free.
They should change the rule.
Sure you dont need one, but it doesnt accomplish anything by not allowing it. Its just a stupid inconvenience. More irritating than anything.
