If a student needs a specific calculator (e.g., large key, talking), the student can bring his or her own, provided it is specified in his or her approved IEP or 504 Plan.  \nFrequently Asked Questions about the Calculator Policy  \n1. Can students use hand‐held calculators for computer‐based assessments?  \nYes. If they prefer, students may use hand‐held calculators on computer‐based CMAS mathematics assessments on any section where a calculator is allowable (grades 6 through 8) . All hand‐held calculators must meet the requirements defined in the CMAS Calculator Policy.  \nIt is recommended that schools identify which students prefer to use hand‐held calculators prior to administration to ensure a sufficient number of the appropriate calculators are available. Hand‐held calculators are required for paper‐based testing. Test administrators are responsible for ensuring hand‐held calculators meet specifications, including verifying the memory is cleared before and after administration.  \n2. Can students use their own calculators on CMAS assessments?  \nYes. Test Administrators must confirm the calculators meet the requirements defined in the CMAS Calculator Policy.  \n3. Who can receive a calculator during the non‐calculator section of the mathematics assessments?  \nOnly individual students approved for the use of calculation devices on non‐calculator sections through the Unique Accommodation Request (UAR) process.  \n4. Can students use calculators on CMAS assessments that are allowable for higher or lower grade level assessments?  \nNo. In order to provide comparability across schools, a student must use a calculator that is allowable for their grade level assessment. Assessment items do not require calculations above the level of the specified calculator. Allowing the use of a calculator that is designated for a lower or higher grade level assessment may unfairly disadvantage or advantage students.  \n5. Does my school have to supply calculators?  \nMaybe. All students participating in computer‐based CMAS assessments are provided an online calculator within the computer‐based delivery platform.
