Hi GMATClub members,
I wanted to share a useful resource I came across that might help you get familiar with the GMAT Calculator(used in the DI section). It's a simulator that you can practice with, and it also includes explanations and guidance on how to use the calculator effectively.
HOW TO USE:
MEMORY BUTTONS:
The three buttons which store and retrieve a number from memory are M+, M-, and MRC. You can see if the memory has a non-zero value by looking at the indicator.
M+ adds the current display value to memory.
M- subtracts the current display value from memory.
If adding or subtracting the current value to the memory value would cause an overflow, the addition/subtraction will not be made and the calculator will error out.
When pressed once, pressing MRC Recalls the memory value. Pressing MRC a second time will Clear the memory.
DISPLAY INDICATORS:
M This indicator will be greyed out when the memory value is 0. When the memory value is not 0, this indicator will be black.
— This indicator will be greyed out when the currently displayed value is positive, and black when it is negative.
E This indicator will be greyed out in most circumstances. It will turn black if your calculation returns a solution which either exceeds the display limits (-99999999 <= x <= 99999999) or is invalid (e.g. 1 / 0, √-1). When it's black, you must press the 'ON/C' button to continue your calculations.
You can check it out here: TI-108 Simulator
I hope you find it helpful in your preparation!

Friends,
There is an MDAS toggle button in the GMAT Calculator Simulator, which I believe does not exist in the actual GMAT calculator. The MDAS (Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction) toggle button determines whether calculations will follow the order of operations or be calculated continuously.
When MDAS is on, the order of operations will be followed. For example, 3 + 2 * 5 = 13, as the multiplication is calculated before the addition.
When MDAS is off, a subtotal will be calculated and displayed continuously as calculations are entered. For example, 3 + 2 * 5 = 25, as the operations are calculated in the order they are entered.
What method does the actual GMAT calculator use? If anyone has taken the official mock tests or the actual GMAT, could you enlighten us on what mode we should use to become familiar with the calculator that is going to appear on the test ?
Thanks!
