I am surprised they let a calculator be used for material at this age?! WOW! Crazy!
Yeah, we really boggled over that for a while. As best as we can tell, the purpose of the calculator was to test understanding of concepts without careless errors as a confound. So she didn't get to use a calculator for the "choose the correct operation," portion, for instance.
She's still young enough to be an unreliable reporter ("Did they ask you about capitalization?" "No, they didn't ask anything about that. They gave me a bunch of sentences, and I had to pick the one that was right, and it was the one that started with a capital letter."), so it's not entirely clear to me what the nature of the calculator-allowed items was.
