Hello!
I am hoping to find out whether mini programs, such as the ones found in the link below are permitted in an exam situation.

Yeah they're allowed alright! Calculators don't get reset before exams anyway plus people use mini programs for the TI-Nspire so it's all fair game!

Do you think it is a benefit to have these mini programs on you casio classpad.

Will you be disadvantaged if you don't have any of these mini programs.

I wouldn't say you're at a disadvantage or an advantage if you simply have them - however, if you have set up your calculator to do tasks that will hasten up your exam-process, you're in a better stead than most.

For example, let's say you use one of these programs to do question x. If you're faster at doing the question by hand than you are using the calculator program to answer question x, there's no point in putting that program on your calculator. If, however, your quicker at inputting it, then you're better off with the calc program.

Thanks Eulerfan101  did you personally have any programs on your CAS?

I wrote a few - to memory, just for Euler's method (specialist) and linear approximation. The first was very helpful, the second was pointless to have for numerous reasons.
