Those taking BCSP examinations will be allowed to bring one or two calculators into the secure examination facility; any calculator brought into the examination must be from the brands and models listed below. - Casio models FX-115, -250 or -300 series - Hewlett-Packard models HP 9, 10, 12, or 30 series - Texas Instruments models TI-30, -34, 35, -36 series - Make sure you know how to use your calculator(s) so you don't waste valuable time trying to understand how to use it once the examination clock starts. It is a good idea to practice working solutions and to be able to recall the correct calculator procedures. Different versions of the above brands and models will be permitted. For example, the TI-30X IIS and HP 30s calculators will be allowed, as they are versions of permitted brands and models. - When purchasing a calculator for this effort, look for the following features: - First, and most importantly, the calculator should have a well-illustrated instruction manual. The manual should be large enough to read, not an inch by an inch and a half. It should have examples of problems and answers with illustrations. - In addition to suggestions made by the Board, the authors believe the calculator should have these functions (in order of importance): - A statistical function capable of calculating mean, standard deviation, and correlation. - A change sign function for numbers and exponents - A universal power function - Scientific notation - Combinations, permutations, and factorials - Lastly, the calculator should be large enough for practical use. Many modern calculators have such small keys that it is nearly impossible to hit just one key at a time. Since test takers will be doing a considerable amount of work during this study effort, attempt to make it as user friendly as possible. ### Calculator Practice Questions - Calculate $69.95 - 10% discount = - Calculate 14 × 356 = - Calculate π Χ 3.6² = - Calculate (12 × 62) / √9 = - Calculate 5^4.87 = - Calculate 4.87/2535 = - Calculate log 15.32 - Calculate 90 + 16.61 × log10 2 = - Calculate 1 / e-2.5 = - Calculate 45⁻¹ = - Calculate 1 / 45 = - Calculate (64)1/2 = - Calculate sine 30 = - Calculate arcsine of 0.5 = - Calculate (4 x 5) / (5 x 4) = - Calculate (70 + 50 / 12) / (5 x 5) = - Calculate √4.5 x 2 = - Calculate 1/4 + 1/2 + 2/3 + 3/4 / 7/8.. = - Calculate 569.95 – 10% discount = - Calculate 14 × 356 - Calculate π Χ 3.6² - Calculate (12×6²) / √9 = - Calculate 5^4.87 = - Calculate 4.87/2535 = - Calculate log 15.32 = - Calculate 90 + 16.61 × log10 2 = - Calculate 1/e-2.5 = - Calculate 45-1 = - Calculate 1/45 = - Calculate (64)1/2 = - Calculate sine 30 = - Calculate arcsine of 0.5 = - Calculate (4 × 5) / (5 × 4) = - Calculate (70 + 50 / 12) / (5 × 5) = - Calculate √4.5 x 2 = - Calculate 1/4 + 1/2 + 2/3 + 3/4 / 7/8.. = ### Calculator Practice Answers - $62.96 - 4984 - 40.72 - 6 - 2535 - 5 - 1.19 - 95 - 0.92 - 0.022 - 1 - 0.022 - 8 - 0.5 - 30 - 1 - 0.4 - 3 - 1.143 ### Domain 1 Quiz 1 Questions - A direct reading instrument indicates a concentration of 2.3% for a hazardous material that has a Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 250 ppm and an Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) of 2500 ppm and a Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of 25,000 ppm.

From the comparison, the concentration is above both the PEL and the IDLH but equal to the LEL. - ppm = % × 1,000,000 - ppm = 2.3% × 1,000,000 - ppm = 25,000 - **PELS** - OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits are time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations that must not be exceeded during any 8-hour work shift of a 40-hour workweek. - **IDLHS** - NIOSH definition Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health concentrations represent the maximum concentration from which, in the event of a respirator failure, one could escape within 30 minutes without a respirator and without experiencing any escape-impairing (e.g., severe eye irritation) or irreversible health effects. - **LEL-UEL** - Lower Explosive Limit or Lower Flammable Limit. By NFPA definition, lower flammable limit is the minimum concentration of vapor to air below which propagation of a flame will not occur in the presence of an ignition source. The UEL or upper explosive or flammable limit is the maximum vapor-to-air concentration above which propagation of flame will not occur. At or below the UEL means the material can ignite. The area bound by the LEL and the UEL is called the flammability range. - **Answer: C** - Convert to ppm - 0.10 × 0.053 × 1,000,000 = 5300 ppm - **Answer: B** - **Step 1** Rebalance the formula using 10 moles of oxygen - 2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O becomes - **4C₂H₂ + 10O₂ → 8CO₂ + 4H₂O** - **Step 2** Multiply 8 moles × 44 g/mol = 352 g of CO₂. - **Answer: A** - The pH scale is logarithmic and is an indicator of the concentration of hydrogen ion dissociation in a solution.
