Anyone know if my calculator has memory... we've not gotten acquainted just yet.

What are "factory" functions? Not as if most people are going to mod their calculator to deviate from factory specifications...I'm still confused... Is memory like M+ to store/program into the calculator a single integer on the basic calculators? Every single of my most basic calculators have this function. Finding one without the M+ feature would be akin to trying to buy a car without air conditioning.

Edit:
I've e-mailed the proctor at the location (Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill, MA) where I'd be taking DSSTs. I figure if I can't get a definitive or fully coherent answer from DSST, maybe I can get a firm approval or negative from the people that actually administer the exams.

Edit Edit:
Follows is the reply:

"My understanding is that no calculators are allowed in the testing room. If you are allowed to use a calculator for one of the DSST exams, one will be available on the computer. I will do some research on this and get back to you."

So they don't really know either, but will hopefully figure it out for me.
