Casio FX-9860GII Advanced Graphic Calculator

Bought this a few years ago to complete my further maths A level. Worked perfect and did everything I needed. Still works with original battery 6 years later!

For the price you pay you get a really good battery life, I have not yet had to replace the batteries and it comes with a manual to learn all the functions, as well as online guides. Well worth the price as it does many more complex things than a regular scientific calculator.

The packaging was perfect, the calculator works like a charm. By the way this does come with batteries so you dont need to purchase any more, something i was scared of before it arrived. The only reason i am rating 4 stars is because i believe this could have been a bit cheaper. All in all, great calculator.

I love this calculator. Being currently in Year 12, going into Year 13, it has really helped me in A Level maths and (even more so) in A Level further maths. The batteries last almost forever; I have had it 6 months and it is still full according to the display. The back-light is a nice touch for when you are working in the dark, like I do quite a lot. It is also nice to have the ability to download applications to use on the calculator using the USB cable you get with it. It does take quite a bit of getting used to, but, having expected at the start to still go back to my old "normal" calculator for a lot of things as it would be easier, I now find myself seldom using it, as this is faster, and storing previous calculations on the screen by scrolling up makes life sooooo much easier. Obviously, for a calculator, it is rather expensive, but if you think that you have a genuine reason for wanting/needing one, and you are contemplating over which to get, I very highly recommend this one.

Bought this as my old Sharp EL9900 was on its way out. Although expecting a change, I was unprepared for what I received.A vastly superior graphics calculator, which is so much more user friendly. My exam days are long gone, but this one is allowed in A'Level exams, although expect it to be banned at University level.If only it had come with the manual, like my Sharp did. I now have two A4 ring binders to hold the 500 page instruction manual. The absence of the manual does not lead to a decrease in stars, as I expect this keeps the cost of the calculator down.

Purchased for my son as he starts A-level maths in September. I was advised he would need a graphic calculator therefore tried this. It seems fine, but I will review again later in his course, as of yet he doesn’t really know how to use it properly.

Takes some getting used to as it is very advanced but still does the job and helpful for studies - especially Mathematics and Statistics. It will easily calculate m/m/m, sd, IQR, etc. In addition it also draws out graphs which is EXTREMELY helpful in exams.

It would be useful for an advanced calculator purchased in the UK for the instructions to be in English. The instructions provided are only in German. Not very helpful!
