Does anyone know the reason that QWERTY calcs are banned from the tests? What is the real advantage of on like that, it's a pain in the butt yet still possible to type it one the regular one... also, I think that 92 has the same functions/software as the 89 just different hardware, not sure though.

For them, exam question security is a large issue, and machines with a QWERTY keyboard permit fairly easy transcription of test items.
