Can I Mod a Non-Programmable Calculator for Exams?

Hey everyone! I'm a 17-year-old from Malaysia, gearing up for my biggest exam yet. In these exams, we can't use programmable calculators, and the popular one we use is the ClassWiz (fx-570EX) by Casio. I had this idea: what if I could somehow mod it to become programmable? I'm new to this kind of stuff, but I'm curious if anyone knows if it's possible and if there are others who would be interested in trying it out. Is this the right place to ask about this?

It is technically possible to mod the ClassWiz, but if you have no experience at all, it might take a lot of your time to learn electronics first. You could end up spending more time on that than studying!

Honestly, I think you should focus on studying instead of messing with the calculator. Modding it could leave you with a non-working device, which isn't what you want before such an important exam!

Hey, it sounds like a fun project! Just keep in mind, it's best to wait until after your exams to dive into this. But for now, it’s cool that you're just exploring ideas!
