Default After the proctor clears your BA II plus calculator?

Can someone tell me what you have to be sure to change in the settings back to how we want it for the exam ? Or does someone have a link? I know I made some setting changes when I first got it. I read it somewhere but can't find it.

Appreciate it.

Zzz

They didn't reset mine beforehand, but they did at the end. He checked mine before, and I think he may have tried to reset it but failed (he struggled to find something small enough to put in the reset button at the end). It was weird.

For me the lady just told me to reset it for her and i showed her the screen that said "Reset?" then pressed enter and she let me take the test.

After that, take 4 seconds to set decimals to 8 or 9 then off to the races
