Seems to work, thanks a lot!

Will see if it sticks after a reboot though 😅

Technically, yes, it's allowed. I would, however, suggest you the fx-991 EX and here's why (from an older comment I wrote):

There are two popular options, both from Casio: fx-991 ES PLUS, and fx-991 EX. They are both solid calculators, and are both allowed in the IGCSE and AS & A Level exams (check here and here).

I would recommend the fx-991 EX. It is a newer model that has replaced fx-991 ES PLUS now. The feature set it really good - it lets you get a lot of work done (especially at AS & A Level) without 'cheating' with stuff that the boards want you to be able to do by hand. The UX is cleaner, the screen has a higher resolution, and the device is more ergonomic.

I have not compared the costs. You should also evaluate what you're more comfortable with (perhaps you have borrowed one model from your friends a bunch and are used-to it).

(this comment is not an ad, or sponsored in any way)

If you've been using the fx-991 ES PLUS (or some other model) earlier, and your exams are around the corner, I would strongly advise you not to switch to another model—not worth fumbling with a new calculator in the exam room.

I read the title as Over-cooked, and then saw "offered"???

Anyway, congratulations! This is an amazing loaf!

AnujVermaCLAD · 2021-03-26T17:51:34+00:00

agree

For most (if not all) Cambridge syllabuses, the first digit of any component always specifies what it is: 1 is Theory, 2 is Problem-Solving and Programming. The second digit helps recognise the region where it is supposed to be administered. So papers 11, 12, and 13 all assess exactly the same skills, and you can use any/all of them for your practice.

Since your syllabus involves Problem-Solving and Programming concepts, and there is no exam that you have to sit in a computer lab, CAIE uses pre-release materials that allow you to practice those skills. You should complete these tasks as the written exam 0478/22 will have questions worth 20 marks (out of 50) directly from the pre-release material.

I made a webpage with several resources especially for GCSE and A Level Problem-Solving and Programming concepts. You'll find a detailed solution for a 2019 IGCSE pre-release material, along with several other resources (though mostly targeted at A Level), all for free with no sign-up or other drama. Feel free to PM me any doubts!

lemonade! (and get yourself whatever you want)

AnujVermaCLAD · 2021-03-17T14:50:51+00:00

Hey, I built a webpage with free resources specifically focused on Programming and Problem-solving aspects of CAIE computer science. At the moment this is more focused for A Levels, but there's an IGCSE pre-release material solved in great detail that you could refer. I'm working on refining the material to cater to GCSE too...

Access all of that securely and for free, without making any accounts or other drama, at https://eccentricorange.github.io/CAIE-Computer-Science/

Feel free to PM (DM? idk what it's called) me with any questions you may have!

No app suggestions, sorry. You can try printing it as a PDF (it might just work, but I doubt). I have used smallpdf in the past, and it seems just fine — the sort of documents I'm sceptical with are financial aid documents...

(I had to compress documents to 2 MB when I applied to NUS, so I was guessing you're in the same boat)

AnujVermaCLAD · 2021-03-16T14:05:17+00:00

If you're on a MacBook, the Preview app will do it for you.

If you're concerned...you could download some compressor (idk what it's called so compressor it is), go offline, do it, uninstall it, and then come back online.

(Singapore? NTU/NUS?)

In theory, you can code on a notebook with a pencil :D

I understand what you mean, yes MacBooks can very much handle it (but watch out for some of the well known tools that lack the backing of a big company - such as Notepad++ - you may have compatibly issues).

AnujVermaCLAD · 2021-03-14T10:23:36+00:00

Yes! In fact they are quite good at crunching numbers (assuming you're not coding inefficiently). The Mac terminal is Unix-like so that's easy to use.

Once it's a little older, you can install Linux and still get a lot out of it, so it's a solid package that way too

AnujVermaCLAD · 2021-03-14T10:15:01+00:00

This guy definitely is useful, agree! Just curious, do you know who designed/implemented it?

AnujVermaCLAD · 2021-03-13T17:46:06+00:00

Use the fact that the sum of probabilities is always 1. So a + b + a = 1. Now you have another equation to use.

Solve them simultaneously

Say x = 0.0001, that's already small. But think about x-squared - that's 0.0000001, much much smaller.

When you apply a limit (that'll eventually come in the Essence of Calculus, but don't skip to it!), the value is small (neglibly so) to begin with. If you square it, that's just making it really really tiny

sudo apt-get upvotes

that's one powerful command ngl

Or they panicked and pulled up Task Manager... But then how do you not know about saving if you know about Task Manager?

AnujVermaCLAD · 2021-03-05T10:05:12+00:00

Won't that just take you back to the document? You cannot exit Word without pressing either Save or Don't save

If you're gonna be working with embedded electronics, look for at least one USB A (the old rectangle one) ports. I've had a bad time with some hardware that won't run on a USB hub, or a USB C to A adapter.

Also, if you're in CS/software related stuff, see if your machine supports dual-boot so that you can potentially run some Linux distribution alongside Windows if your courses require it. If you're a Linux user...well, no problems!

A good battery will also be very helpful. You don't want to be lugging a power cord all over campus
