You can’t bring your own calculator. Here’s what you need to know about the 6 exams that use an integrated calculator and an on-screen practice tool.
On CLEP exam day, test takers aren’t allowed to bring their own calculators into the testing room. There are only 6 CLEP exams that include an exam calculator on the screen. If a calculator is allowed, it will display on the screen. If it’s not allowed, you’ll have to do the calculation long-hand.

- Chemistry– A scientific (nongraphing) calculator, the TI-30XS MultiView, is available to students during these exams. Students are expected to know how and when to use the calculator.
