Oh my god I've always been a victim of forgetting to put that fraction in for the quadratic formula and then having to start again. You absolute legend!
The purpose of the function used for the hours to minutes conversion is actually used for converting decimal degrees into latitude and longitude in degrees and minutes and seconds of arc, but using it to convert time is a good way to use it as well.
its still really useful though, i remember doing a past paper once and i messed up because it took me too long to calculate how many minutes or hours were in between two periods of time which caused me to lose a mark cuz i made some sort of silly mistake (e.g. the amount of minutes between 3:50pm and 7:45pm)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. The time into minutes and hours and storing values into a calculator actually saved my life. You're a legend, schools don't even teach us this

The standard form conversions do work with negative powers - you just need to use the (-) button (under the red Alpha A) between the x10 and the power and it should work.
It also depends how the calculator is set up. If you input a negative power standard form number, press = and you don’t get the decimal you’re hoping for, try pressing SETUP, 8, 2. It should now give you the decimal number 0.0000… (assuming there’s sufficient space for that number to fit on the screen). [This is on the Casio fx-83] 🙂
I'm a PhD in Mechanical Engineering using my hand calculator all the time. I've never used half the functions on it, so you've definitely taught me something. That said, I doubt I'd use a calculator to solve the problems you described, but it's great to be able to inform my students as a way of checking their calculations. Very much appreciated!
i have a a maths paper 2 mock exam tmrw, (Im in yr10) and this video helped me so much, i honestly thought i was the master with calculator tricks, this video really humbled me haha! Thank you for the tricks, theyre really useful and will save me alot of time in my exam! (:
bro i thought u were just another random waffler who didn't help but im so glad i found u in my recommended, i am a gcse foundation student who just moved up into higher after getting well above a grade 5 in my mocks and i am struggling with the content. but your help will definitely make my exams easier so that i can focus on the questions that really need the effort in them.
Thank you so much. It is literally the night before my last maths exam, and I decided to watch this video and I'm so glad I did. All these tips were so useful and even though I knew I few before, I didn't know any of the more important ones mentioned, like the store feature (which I was actually stressing over earlier, having to writing down long numbers from using things like sine rule without knowing this thing existed). Anyway, thank you so much for making this video because now I feel even more confident for my exam.
Here's a cool thing you can do if you have extra time on your exam: Using the variable assignment function, you can actually record down your answers for MCQ questions by using A, B, C, D, for the various options. Here's my system for doing it, although you can come up with your own. For all questions in MCQ, if the answer is X, store the question number into X. For question numbers over 10, use a decimal mark to seperate them from those lower than 10. For example, suppose questions 1, 4, 7, 12, and 23 have the answer A. I would form the number 147.1223 and store that as A. After the exam, you can compare your answers with others for fun.
Holy crap bro your about to give me 10 free marks thank you so much bro I actually never knew how to do these questions you just made my life so easy bro u don’t even know I love you bro

YO thanks so much man, i have my Maths Paper 2 calc tommorow and the advice is to use your calculator at all times. I never understood why as they never truly explained until i came across your video. They have been gatekeeping these. Thanks for these tips cause now i will be able to actually use my calc better and finish quicker wid no stress and get those marks. Ps: i only knew 2 so thanks for the other helpful 8!

You need yourself a numworks calculator, That really is the best one you are allowed, I assume its allowed at GCSE, it is at A-Level, It can draw graphs and solve equations so easily, they're godlike
On some Casio calcs, such as the fx-85GT CW, there is no FACT button. Instead, you enter the number as normal (although the '=' button is now an 'EXE' button), then press the 'FORMAT' button. This gives a menu that you can choose 'Prime Factor' from, amongst other things.
