Calculators Allowed on FE Exam

The NCEES has a specific calculator policy that permits only certain calculator models during the FE exam to ensure fairness and exam integrity. As of my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021, the approved calculator models include select versions from Casio (FX-115 and FX-991 series), Hewlett Packard (HP 33s and HP 35s), and Texas Instruments (TI-30X and TI-36X series).

Texas Instruments

All TI-30X and TI-36X models are allowed (Any Texas Instruments calculator should have "TI-30X" or "TI-36X" in its model name). These TI calculators will be recognizable for those accustomed to using TI-83s, TI-89s, and similar models.
