The Casio fx-570 is the most popular calculator for IGCSE Maths in Malaysia. This guide covers essential setup, key operations, and statistics mode.
Essential Setup
Set degree mode by pressing SHIFT → MODE → 3 (Deg). Check this at the start of every exam. Set the display to show enough decimal places.
Tips

Statistics Mode
Press MODE 2 for statistics. Enter data, then use SHIFT 1 for mean, standard deviation, and sum. Exit with MODE 1 to return to normal mode.
