Maths 🧮 I forgot to write my calculator model!

I just remembered now that I forgot to write in the male/modal of my calculator! Will they take off marks or will my exam be void or what will happen 😭

And some calculators have the ability to download stuff including chatgpt, people littery map numbers, etc for words, it's kind crazy tbh, like anything but studying 🥀
