IIRC it couldn't be one that had the memory or could do graphs... but that was 15 years ago I last worried of such things or used one...

A letter claims that calculators can't have dictionaries in them. But I don't really get what it means if they are saying them I'm not allowed to use memory then all calculators have that these days.. i've got 3 calculators and I'm going to take all 3 to exam :D

Well you weren't allowed calculators with program memory like TI ones that would do differentials...
