Title: POSS Test/Calculators
Post by: DUKSec on Oct 27, 2020, 01:38

Can you use a calculator on the POSS Test?


I have read yes and I have read no on many different forums here. Anyone with recent experience taking the test please let me know.

No. And I don't think it would help you if you could! The math portion is timed so grinding away on a calculator would probably get you a fail ("Not recommended") anyway!

Thank you for your response, I have the test coming up this Saturday. I've been preparing without just in case hopefully all goes well.

I took the POSS test within the last two weeks and was allowed use of a four function calculator (i.e., +-/*).
