Hi, I would like to get an updated List of allowable calculators for the Registered Mechanical Engineer Board Exam. As of August 26, 2022, I cannot find any update on the listing from the PRC website regarding allowed calculators, even though there was a supposed memorandum that updates the ban for some calculators. I am hoping that there is an updated official list somewhere in case there are more calculators that are no longer allowed. Thank you.
