Even the calculator on your computer will show commas, I wonder why NCARB won't. 

I don't know if I have ever seen a calculator this basic and without commas except for these exams. I understand that scientific calculators don't always show commas but in my experience taking these exams the calculator within the exams U.I. is not a scientific calculator.

So I do not understand why we can't see commas when doing calculations for such large numbers. Many times numbers are in the millions and I have to check if I input the correct amount of characters into the calculator something that would be incredibly faster if the calculator in the exam was like every dull regular physical calculator we all use.

I can't be the only Licensure candidate that gets bothered by this? and it really seems like it's a minor ask. But @NCARB do you give us licensure candidates not fully working tools to answer long calculation questions?

  You are NOT ALONE!! its such a waste of time and anxiety inducing just having to count the amount of characters are in just to make sure i'm getting the right numbers (that are right in front of me) in the question alone. Super frustrating!
