Casio ClassWiz for NCEES
Is the NCEES considering the new Casio ClassWiz calculators for their list of approved calculators in 2017?

Also, will they be approved for other tests such as ACT, SAT, AP?

The FX991EX boasts 47 constants instead of 40, with abbreviations inside the calculator.
I heard Pearson won't let you use the back of FX-115ESPLUS to lookup numbers of constants and conversions. Do they clear calculator memory or let you use the calculator as-is?
Other improvements are 4-line display instead of just 2, bigger solar panel, high speed integrations and 4x4 matrix. The QR code feature allows learning graphs on a tablet in class without buying a separate graphing calculator, retaining familiarity with the same calculator operation. Not sure if has reach up and grab a number from previous calculation ability like the TI-36XPRO. They are trying to compete with TI in a big way for test-permitted calculators, and it would make sense for Casio to involve NCEES in the design stages of new calculators.
These features can provide an advantage at test time.
It would help if NCEES gave test takers advance notice of what is permitted.
Too bad the Casio still forgets everything when the power goes off.
Are they coming out with an English language version of the German FX-991DEX?
