I bought this scientific calculator for my 15 years old daughter in preparation of her GCSE. It seems to be quite popular with that age group. They knlow exactly what they want and it serves them well for their purpose. There is another model of this calculator, however this model is more desirable due to the additional power source from its solar panels built into it. She is quite pleased with it.

Just bought this for A level maths, as an upgrade on an earlier model (which is still working fine but this one has more functionality). Perfectly happy with the calculator itself.

However, if you're buying this check out Tesco's first (I obviously didn't).
I paid �7.81 through Amazon (from Indigo) and just seen it in Tesco's for �5.00.

I bought this to replace my old Casio which I've had since school, 25 years ago! Has all the same features as my old one & a few extras plus a nice big LCD panel. A great price & quick delivery!

Good basic calculator for secondary school and laboratory.

Nothing special but does the job and is more intuitive to use than the Sharp equivalent.

easy to use and simple. I am doing my GCSE'S ad its make my life easy, tells even recurring decimals.
BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ready to use for A-Level

This calculator is superb, it works just aswell as any other, bargain at that price.
Reason for four stars is that the stats functions are a little incomplete.

This is perfect for my A-Level maths and further maths but would be great for GCSE work as well.

I bought this as a replacement for my sons old calculator which had started to go wrong.

This was a very good price, a good size making it easily portable whilst having a nice clear screen and decent sized buttons. It feels fairly well built and does everything he needs.

He's very happy with it and would recommend it.

I'm old enough to remember my maths teacher, in the 1970s, showing us his newly purchased Sinclair Scientific calculator (I expect he saved a few pounds by buying it as a self-assembly kit). It was amazing then to see such a small device which could calculate sines, square roots, etc, and it must have cost around �60 then.

Today the price of this Casio model is not much more than a pack of cigarettes (not that I buy them these days) - whereas in the 1970s I estimate that you could have bought perhaps 200 packets of 20 (e.g. Rothmans Kingsize) for the price of one Sinclair Scientific calculator!

I bought this Casio FX-85GTPLUS for my son, who needs it for GCSE maths. He is very happy with it. It does everything he needs, it is sure to be reliable, and it arrived promptly. It's slightly larger than I expected, which is not a problem; when using it, the grey sleeve does not need to be slid down as shown in the picture.

i've had an old casio for years, which did the job very well, but as a maths tutor, the pupils were starting feel it was a bit archaic, whereas this is the current school recommended calculator, so they feel instantly comfortable and know exactly how to use it. It is very straight forward, everything is entered exactly as you read it. my only gripe is that all decimal answers come out as a fraction to begin with - but it only takes a press of a button to convert them.
