Today, I have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML

You didn't calculate a good exam plan, OP, but I won't go off on a tangent...

Real calculus can be done without a calculator

No, a double-entendre between The Eagles and differential calculus.

I haven't used calculators in math for 3 years. You get used to it and it really is possible to do it without them.

Depends on what kind of math you're doing and how good at mental math you are. Not everybody can count like ******* rainman.

Calculus is mainly memorization. You remember the sine, cosine, and tangent of pi/3, pi/4,pi/6 because those are the most commonly used ones (should also remember the unit circle) and you're pretty much set. Calculus is mainly derivatives and integrals which don't require a calculator; they're only formulas to remember. I'm horrible at mental math because the numbers switch places in my head and I can still do it.

What's a precalculus exam? I know it's a maths exam but what sort of questions are on the exam paper?
