📚 Student User Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - High School Student
"I bought this calculator for my AP Calculus class in October 2024, and it’s been a game-changer. The multi-line display makes it so much easier to check my work, and the 240 functions cover everything we’ve thrown at it—from derivatives to statistical distributions. The solar + battery power means I never worry about it dying during exams."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Raj Patel - Civil Engineer
"Been using the CTIFREE fx-991ES PLUS daily since January 2025 for field calculations and design checks. The trigonometric and exponential functions are spot-on, and the keys are responsive even with gloves on. The protective case is a nice touch—it’s survived a few drops on construction sites!"

🎓 University Student Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Amina Khalid - Physics Major
"Great calculator overall. I got it in August 2024 before my second year, and it’s handled all my physics and math coursework. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the manual is a bit confusing at first—there’s a learning curve with so many functions. But once you get used to the mode settings, it’s incredibly powerful."

👨🏫 Educator Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Wu - Math Teacher
"I recommend this model to all my senior students. Purchased mine in March 2025 to test alongside my curriculum, and it’s perfect for everything from algebra to statistics. The large LCD display is clear even in dimly lit classrooms, and the dual power system means no more dead batteries during lessons. It strikes the right balance between functionality and ease of use."

💼 Professional Use Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sofia Ramirez - Financial Analyst (using for technical modeling)
"Though I work in finance, I needed a reliable tool for quick engineering-style calculations during project evaluations. Bought the CTIFREE fx-991ES PLUS in December 2024. It’s not a financial calculator, but its statistical and exponential functions are excellent for forecasting models. Lightweight, durable, and the solar assist is surprisingly effective—even under office lighting."

🏆 Industry Expert Recommendations
Mathematics Education Expert Recommendation
Dr. Linda Foster - STEM Education Specialist
"After evaluating over a dozen scientific calculators for classroom adoption, I consistently come back to the CTIFREE fx-991ES PLUS. Its 240-function capacity aligns perfectly with high school and early university curricula. The intuitive layout reduces cognitive load, allowing students to focus on concepts rather than button sequences. A top choice for math educators."
Engineering Tools Consultant Recommendation
Mark Jensen - Professional Tools Advisor
"For non-graphing needs, this is one of the most reliable scientific calculators on the market. The dual power system and CE/FCC/RoHS certifications ensure it meets professional standards. I recommend it to junior engineers who need precision without the complexity of programmable or graphing models."
