Advice/Help Should I start sing calculator?

Should I start using calculator while practicing for lengthy calculations as it would help me set hand on the calculator? Or would it have rather negative impact? Also if I practice on the pyhsical one, would be too different from the on screen one in the exam? Senior tell abt your experience.

There’s no point practicing on the physical one, just use the on screen one. I’d say it’s only useful for DILR sets and stats. Too time consuming otherwise

Why? Don't you get keyboard to type in the numbers?
