There's a video in the article showing the whole process. The new module was completely hidden inside the calculators case and soldered to the internal connections.

Until you actually open it up, it doesn't look abnormal at all.

Ah, interesting. That’s quite a bit of work more than expected then lol. Link things at the top assumed it’d plug into that. Seems like a whole lot of work where if you’re into fixing shit and soldering and all that you probably don’t hate math much and thus… learning algebra 2 for a damn SAT wouldn’t be that hard?

I suppose maybe the GRE or whatever? Idk what all that entails and if they allow these.
