Is there a calculator on the real thing?

[spootbat]

There is a calculator on the Uworld and Kaplan Qbanks, but no calculator on the NBME forms. Is there a calculator on the real thing? I read a great mental math book last year and could probably do the calculations without a calculator, but then again I don't want to get a question wrong because I screwed up a calculation.

For example, the square root of 1/40000. Quick! Do it in your head!

Can you type numbers into the calculator? The whole clicking numbers thing on Uworld is really really annoying. Also, can you bring earplugs or are they provided?

I didnt try typing the numbers sorry.

You can bring earplugs and I would recommend it. They have orange soundproof headphones but they make your head all sweaty especially when the air conditioning is weak.
