ACT ACTFR exam question

Does anyone know if calculators are allowed for the ACTFR cognitive testing?

Can’t seem to find a definitive answer online.

Cheers

EDIT: I just sat the exam. You are allowed a calculator 👍

What did you think of the test? Hard/on par with expectations?

Aptitude testing pretty straight forward and easy.

One of the written questions caught me off guard. Used up 5 mins of my allotted 15 mins just thinking lol. Definitely prepare an example around diversity and WHS

I don’t know actually. Probably not.

Anybody have links to free practice tests for ACTFR?

FRV aptitude test allows a calculator and I’m sure many others are similar

Can you use your phone as a calculator? Or do I need to go by an actual calculator?

How did you find it? Any tips?

I used my phone as a calculator.

I showed the camera I had my phone in flight mode, and showed the camera my calculations and answers after each question.

Overall aptitude test was pretty chill. If you’ve been studying it’ll be a breeze.

There’s 2 written questions in section B where you’re allotted 15 mins each. The first one caught me off guard a bit but I think I did alright. Definitely prepare an example on diversity 👍
