updated DAT calculator function?

Can anyone confirm this? I know someone that took the test drive the other day and says the calculator has trig functions on it. I definitely did not have this when I took it the first time about two years ago and have not heard about any updates. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THIS!? I didn't see anything on the ADA website so I'm assuming this test drive the person did was possibly led astray by being told that trig and log functions would be on there if you press mode or something of the sorts.
Thanks

They had trig functions when I did the test drive too, and I was hoping they had updated it. But no, you do not get those on the actual DAT.

I'd assume not. That would kind of defeat the whole point of having trig on the QR.

I did the test drive recently and it did have trig and other cool, useful functions and was wondering the same thing. I asked the proctor and she said she doesn't know. The test drive was generic and was not made for any specific exam so I figured the calculator on the real DAT probably doesn't have those functions. russelldw just took the exam and confirmed that they're not there. So don't count on it.

Was there square root button ?

Yes, it looks exactly like the calc on DAT Bootcamp. There is a square root and inverse button. Also it worked to use my keyboard.
