I thought i was a master at using calculators. BRO OPENED UP A WHOLE DIMENSION OF CALCULATORS IN 8 MINUTES
THANKS SO MUCH MAN
Youre welcome!!! Glad i could help. Good luck in your exams!
No1 trick is to get a casio A-Level calculator
true
There's more to learn too. But yeah, these tricks are amazing
@@pawxgamingmario9813 those aren't allowed in most board exams
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.
Oh i never knew that! Thats interesting. Thank you!
You change my way from grade 4 to 9 literally. Man hats off.
Thank you!! Means alot. Best of luck to you🙏🏼🤞🏽
@@brainstormmath he’s obviously capping
@@brainstormmath he’s being sarcastic😂
Clicked on this expecting to know all 10 and ended up knowing like 2 😂
Great vid, this will actually help me in my exams 👍
Thats great to hear! Glad they were useful! Good luck in exams
completely opposite for me XD
only found 2 new ones, STO and product of prime factors
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
Youre welcome!! Glad they helped. Best of luck to you🙏🏼
@@brainstormmath Thank you!
lmao ur username
@@jujuk8132 Hahah ik
@@lesyeuxdeniiniii a stay??
as someone who knew most of these it's 100% the most precious information for the maths gcse
well aside from the content lmao
Haha yes good point😂
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!
Bruh 💀
Final video before paper 2 and this is pretty much all the revision I did- wish me luck 😂
Out of topic but you’re majestic as hell 🥲
Already knew these, but I'm glad there's someone out there sharing the knowledge
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.
Oh thank you! Didnt know that
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] 🙂
all AQA Maths 2023 exam students have a paper 2 calculator exam and thanks to you, out of all of the youtube maths tutors, you have literally helped me the most :)

They do it if lots of people score high, as only a certain proportion of people get each grade

For the quadratic equation one, you could just divide by the number after by clicking =, then ans / 2a
Thats true yes, i usually do this myself too thinking about it. Thank you!

2:16 it does also work for negative exponents you need to press [Shift] +[ENG] repeatedly until the exponent of 10 becomes zero.
You are the goat!!
Thank you!!
Very good
also bonus, some calculators can even do matrix sums
(I don't think the calculators shown in this video can though)
You are correct tho! Some do, altho it isn’t required in the normal GCSE spec so i left it out. But good that you know that! Very useful
The white ones. They are so insanely good, they can do matrices, simultaneous equations, quadratics, everything!
@@boarbot7829 yeah thats the one I have
really helpful in my o levels
unfortunately i think they discontinued it for newer models
@@brainstormmath Matrices are required in IGCSE math b so i thought to mention it
also the plotting graphs part was actually mindblowing
i didn't know they could do that
Yes i thought they were iGCSE actually, thanks for sharing it with everyone tho!
Thanks man, helps a TON.
Best of luck to you🙏🏼
Thank you, super useful !! Will use in the exam
Glad i could help! Good luck!
Thanks
Youre welcome!
Pray for me guys I have a big exam next month It will change my life if I got selected 🤲

have you passed
this is amazing thank you sooo much
Thank you! Youre welcome🙏🏼
Thanks. It was helpful.
Thanks! Glad you found it useful!
Thank you so much, you are literally a life saver.🙏🙏🙏
Youre welcome! Thank you🙏🏼
meanwhile indian students watching in the corner be like 😀 yall have calculators?
Thank you so helpful.
You’re welcome!
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!
do one for the fx-991 ex calc i think thats the most powerfull cal allowed in exam theres pretty neat tricks in that one tbh
Yes its a very good calculator! I think most of the tricks should be very similar for that model
@@brainstormmath yea bu u can solve x find simultaneous equations pylonomial equations and many more
:)
Yes thats true! The A-Level ones are the bestt haha
i need this calc so bad
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
you are amazing and it was very helpful
Noo this acc saved me ty smm!!!❤❤❤
I’m so dumb,Ofc I’m watching this when revising for a non calculator paper
Hahah, no more non-calc needed! But the papers will still be fairly similar so not a total waste!
When I was at school we managed maths with an abacus and a slide rule😂
Hahah, they must have it easier these days!!
Thanks so much helped alot for my mocks shifted my grades from 6 - 8
Thank you so much
I wish i saw this earlier 😢
Have you done all your exams now?
@@brainstormmath Unfortunately yes 😢
Ahh, hope they went well atleast!
The 2.2k people are going to make the grade boundary higher 😒
More motivation to be fully prepared! How are you feeling for the next paper?
This has probably just saved me thanks man! 😅🙌
Youre welcome! Good luck🙏🏼
This vid deserves a follow and a like ❤
Thank you so much!
That’s nothing, I could write BOOBLESS with mine back in the day. 😎
The truth can’t be hidden for too long… I stand with Palestinians!
Thanks man this is hella helpful
You’re welcome! Good luck in your exam
Using brackets for fractions was really helpful thx.
Glad i could help! Thanks!🙏🏼
