[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you use a calculator in your actuarial work? If so, why isn’t the solution that everyone gets to use a calculator on the exam (vs no one)? Kinda like the shift from “handicapped-accessible” to “barrier-free” design. [/quote] I am the actuary. For math and science portions of the tests, if some kids get extended time plus calculator accomodations, I am saying that is truly unfair. All the kids should have access to calculators. It takes a lot of time and one is prone to mistakes when one does not use a calculator. And if the kid also does not have extended time accomodation, then the kid is the ‘disadvantaged’ kid. This is totally unfair especially in light of how many are gaming the system,[/quote]
