Calculating quartiles

I've just realised certain calculators work out the quartiles for a set of data differently (one of the Casio Classpad software updates has changed the method as well). Will both ways be awarded full marks in the exam?

For full marks wouldn't you have to work out the quartiles manually anyway?
