    How about casio fx-82ARX po? I think the same lang po siya sa casio fx82ex

    Hi, is it true that PRC will be releasing calculators with a seal to prevent any modifications? If so, when and how will we be able to purchase it

  • Anonymous Oct 10, 2019 @ 9:13

    Maam/Sir
    Kung ang issue naman po ay kung pagmomodified ng calculator, bakit po yung 570ES nalang po yung pinagbili nila na may seal na.. Paano nman po kami, biglaan yung announcement paano kami makapagprepare ng maayos. Sana nman po ibalik po yung 570ES. Wag nman sna kaming pahirapan, hindi nman kami yung nangdaya o nagmodified nong calculator. Yung pagbabawal po nong 570ES, para po sakin hindi po magandang solusyon. Yung paglalagay po ng seal ang nakikita kung paraan para matigil ang pagmomodified ng calculator. Kung paguusapan nga po yung pagmomodified parang mas madali pa nga po mamodified yung 350EX dahil ang display nya ay parang nasa cellphone na.. Yung laman po, sana po makita nio naman po ang side namin. MARAMING SALAMAT PO.

      TAMA PO. Pwede din signal jamming gamitin nila. Nuhay PRC. Mababa initiative.

    Hope this release of notice be enacted for the next year board exam not prior to this immediate upcoming exam. Most are not ready.

    1 month notice before the enactment? October 7, 2019 PRC released the notice and will be applied to this upcoming November 2019 Civil engineering exam.

    Hope ypu could consider the examinees situation. Such short time to practice those calculators and some have no calculator kasi Now, some of those calculators are face out in Philippines. You need po to consider this issue. Hope PRC amend that notice. I believe all government office acts upon what's best for all. Thanks and more powers.

    Why don't the PRC just supply the calculator units during the exam to prevent cheating? The use of calculators are a must during the exam not because of the lack of competency of the examinees but due to the length of coverage of the exam and time limit imposed by the PRC. If there are no time limit during the exam even an examinee with a slide rule can finish the test.

    Ang labo niyo where are the PROPER ANNOUNCEMENTS AND GUIDELINES ?! ARE THE CALCULATORS ALLOWED THE ONES THAT ARE SEALED BY PRC AND WHERE DO WE GET THEM ?! MOVE THE SCHEDULE IT'S SIMPLY NOT FAIR MAKING US ALL ANXIOUS AND HARD FOR US TO GET THE CALCULATORS IF YOU PLAN ON STICKING WITH THESE MODELS!

    991 es at 991 es plus lang ? So meaning may chance pa ba ang 570 es plus ?

  • Unknown Oct 19, 2019 @ 15:35

    As if banning 991 and 570 will really help to improve the passing rates. Try improving your security, instead of banning and downgrading the calcu models.

    PRC talaga mukang pera, baka may commission kayo niyan sa mga calcu company Brand.

    Dear PRC,
    Bakit kayo CRAB mentality. Please take note the following;
    1. In other countries, inde nila pinapahirapan after gradution ang mga CE. Yung iba ngang country at the age of 23 may Masters na. dito patagalan pa.
    2. Kung ung demand ng work for CE s pinas ang iniisip nyo kya mostly ni lilimit nyu lng sa 20-30% ang passing rate,wag nyu na poblemahin yun kc ung engr na bhala doon,xmpre kpg graduate ka at pass k s prc mas mrami opportunity lalo n s abroad.
    3. S abroad, mas need nla yung equivalency kesa s PRC kasi inde nmn tau dati K-12, ngaun n lng, unlike ng mga ibang countries n kpg CE na madali cla mkpg member s mga government certificate.
    4. May mga inde nga licensed na CE dito sa atin s pinas na member na halos ng lhat ng institution (PMP, RMP, CCE, ACI, etc..) pero ang PRC ang damot2.
    5.So dati nung mano2 eh ilang questions ba? 10 with solns ata db.. now ginawang 30 questions s computerized (shading na). tpos 30 question p rin ng ilang taon (start ng Shift Solve), tpos nung alam nla na nag eevolve ang calcu e ginawa nilang 100 questions. so ngaun alam nila na nag aadvance din ang mga tao dpat accepted nla na mas mppdali ang buhay ng mag eexam kc advance n cla. kumbaga from nokia 3310 e Iphone 11 pro max na.. bakit lahat ba kaya nila o alam ang shift Solve o mode 32 etc.. xmpre nasa s tao rin yun if san xa comfortable. ang mahalaga e naipasa nya.
    6.Now, if i da down grade nyu yan kc bkit cheating? so, dapat re-take o revoke lahat license cmula nung ipagamit ang may Shift Solve na calcu.if inde so dapat as is na kc paurong nmn kau eh.. if pinagamit nyu ang 991 o 570 casio, wag nyu na bawiin.
    7. Isipin nyu sa 100 questions, dapat ilan ba 3 mins/ques.. hello??? so ibalik nyu n lng sa 30 Questions ulit o kya 10 questions show solns. baka pumayag p cla.
    8. and lastly, bago pg may changes dapat may notice kayu ng 1 yr inde yung agad2 kung kelan nyu lng gusto. bka one day pikit mata n lng sa pag solve ang mga CE takers nian..
    9. BITTER KAU PRC…
    10. SIN GA / COS GA mga PRC kau….

  • Unknown Oct 24, 2019 @ 10:16

    Bakit Po may papel na list of valid calculators kayo na nilabas at kabilang don Ang 350 es plus at 82 ES plus? Ano po Yun? At bakit Wala Dyan.

  • Anonymous Oct 24, 2019 @ 11:01

    Nakabili na po kami ng fx-350 es plus dahil sabi po ng iba na pumunta daw po sila ng PRC at sinabing allowed ang fx-82 es plus as well as fx-350 es plus tapos ngayon malalaman namin na bawal pala? So bakit po nagrelease ang casio ng mga es plus na calcu kung hindi naman po pala pwede? Sayang lang po kasi yung pagod namin na naghanap, sayang din po yung pera namin. Hindi naman po lahat ng mga magtetake mayaman. Buti po sana kung pwedeng ipalit yung calculator ng ex plus.

  • Anonymous Oct 24, 2019 @ 13:14

    Wala naman mabilhan ng mga required na calculators sa list either out of stock or as in wala talaga sila.

  • Anonymous Oct 24, 2019 @ 14:50

    Kung totoo man pwede na 570es plus, (sabi nung mga kasama ko legit news daw), e di parang gumawa nalang ng pera PRC. Di ako nagbibintang pero parang “something’s fishy” na biglang bawi. Okay na rin siguro dahil may mga di pa nakakabili dahil out of stock. Pero mukha ng tanga mga reviewees e. Ewan ko lang. opinyon ko lang. May mga reviewees kasi na nagback out dahil nga nagbago daw ng calcu. Tapos naging allowed ulit. Basta goodluck nalang.

  • Anonymous Oct 24, 2019 @ 15:38

    Problema talaga ang announcement at implementation. Sana mas pagbutihin ng PRC itong dalawang bagay na ito.

  • Unknown Oct 25, 2019 @ 5:06

    Ano ba talaga ang totoo. Sinasayang nyu pera namen kung sana all may pambili.. Kahit ano pang calcu yan kung gusto i tampered lagyan ng pwede magawa.. Kakainis lang d man nag habiso sa questionier eh kung ilana papano method ng exam wala calcu lang

    Allowed din po ba yung CASIO FX350 ES PLUS?

  • Anonymous Dec 20, 2019 @ 0:25

    The PRC can mandate calculator manafacturer, bakit hindi nila imandato sa gumagawa nang calculator na gumawa nang calculator na transparent yung cover nya. Kita loob nang calculator. Dahil kapag sinabi nila na yang lang ang calculator na popwede gagawa sila nang ganyan na calculator kasi business yan. Kaysa palit ng palit lang model. Opinion ko lang po.

  • Unknown Mar 14, 2020 @ 13:17
