NABCEP test disclosure [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Friends:

I have a question about the trigonometry portion of the test:

I enjoy mathematics, I use it every day and I consider myself somewhat good
at it.  I do have common formulas in my palm pilot as well as the
scientific calculator.  I would consider it wrong headed to require test
participants to memorize trig. formulas.  There is only so much room in one
brain, and I think it unwise to clutter it with information easily found in
a handy reference.  Give me any triangle and my notes and a cacluator.and I
will analyses it.  Deprive me of my basic notes, and I am lost.

Below is the sum total of the notes I would need.  Would I be allowed to
take these and my scientific calculator into the test?

Will I be allowed plenty of scratch paper?  I am a graphic oriented
thinker, and I can work out complex problems, but I need to draw myself a
picture!

Trig functions:
SIN A=OPP/HYP
SIN A * HYP = OPP

TAN A = OPP/ADJ
TAN A * ADJ  = OPP

TAN -1  OPP/ADJ  =  A

COS A = ADJ/HYP
COSA*HYP=ADJ
COS-1 ADJ/HYP  = A
