I've just bought a casio fx-993, assuming that I can use it in the exam
I reckon it fits under the category of 'scientific calculator' so I don't see why not
I may well be wrong though

I checked the VCAA website a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find a 'list' of allowed calculators.

includes things like integral calculations, one and two-variable statistics, base-N functions and ones that have physical constants stored.
