Hell, why do we even allow calculators to be used in ANY exam? What's the point in "teaching" math if you let the calculator do 90% of the work?
You obviously have never done any sort of serious math, or are still in high school. Math is not about adding up numbers - thats just some of the raw ingredients needed at the start.
NB: In Australia only very basic casio style scientific calculators ($20 jobs) are allowed in exams. There is a list and your calculator must be on the list.
