Digital camera reviews of Casio FX-115MS Plus Scientific Calculator
Digital camera Review: Good for FE exam
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this product, and also good for FE exam. But I suggest you need practice & become familier with the product before taking to exam.Digital camera Review: Good for the FE
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this calculator specifically for the FE exam and didn't have a problem using it. It's a little different than the TI that I'm used to, so I had to accustom myself to it. At any rate, it did the calculations necessary to complete the FE.Digital camera Review: Good, full-featured but a little short. . .
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the 115es originally, and for some reason, NCEES disallowed it from the FS/FE exams, so i also got the 115ms. Note, NCEES appears to be allowing the es again; the approved Casio model has to be a FX-115 model, no designation as to it having to be the ms.
So the ms is very nice! Very clear, crisp display, intuitive keyboard, these things being better than the es. The ms is also full-featured, having solve & calc functions (very handy), ability to do derivatives, integrals, quad & cubic equations, solve simult equations of up to 3 unknowns, full statistics capability, etc. But the ms will basically be relegated to being my backup to the 115es, because the es does everything the ms does, and has unit conversions, scientific contants, matrix, table, and vector capability; in addition to being more user-friendly in toggling between the desired mode of operation or setup style.
I'm really not sure why Casio offers 2 such similar platforms, separated by a minimal price. . . i mean for the money, why wouldn't you get the 115es? Hopefully, NCEES will not exclude the es from its approved list again (totally don't know why they did in the first place). But comparing either casio model to the approved texas instruments models, or the HP models, the casios offer great value & practicality, without a huge learning curve.
If you're not remotely concerned w/ any of this NCEES speak (i don't blame you), buck up to the 115es. For a few $$ more than the ms, it provides a lot more features.
Digital camera Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this calculator. Very inexpensive and gives you everything you need. Lacks the graphing of a graphing calculator, but who really needs that in the real world. If you are looking for a great calculator with everything, but don't need to spend over a hundred bucks for graphing functions, get this calculator.Digital camera Review: Great Buy

I've always liked Casio calculators for being cheap, extremely reliable, and durable. I got this one to replace my last FX-115 of 7 years which was accidentally doused in hydrochloric acid. This has a two line display, as well as a ton of functions (from stats to that suit the needs of the middle school student all the way to the college student. A solar panel means you will never have a "dead calculator" for homework or an exam, but the battery lasts for at least two years anyway.
