    Good Day Ma’am, Sir,

    I just want to clarify some things about the calculator po.
    Magtatake po ako ng board exam this coming April 2025, and itatanung ko po sana if iallowed nyu yung calculator ko na may scatch tape don sa red wire.

    Regarding to this matter po, makakadagdag po ba iyon ng weight nung calcu ko? I heard may specific po kayung pinag babase’san ng weight ng calcu pag ichecheck na ninyu ung mga calcu ng magtatake.

    Hoping for your response. Thank you
