«Seems like a nice Calculator, but....»
I haven't had time to explore this calculator, but it seems to have all the functions I need and is of decent quality-not bad for $20!
The only place I find fault is in the documentation which are multi-folded "booklets" for a User Guide and Appendix. There are no tables of contents or Index in either "manual". They are essentially worthless and difficult to read, plus fragile. Fortunately, I was able to download the PDF versions and format them to 2 pages per 8.5 x 11" sheet for printing. This makes it a little less unwieldly and easier to read, albeit, lacking in usefull information. Users are on their own after that. Apparently there are no after market books specific to this calculator that I have found.

«THE calculator for the PE Exam»
I had stupidly thought that since my preferred calculator is a TI-89 that I should use the TI model for the PE Exam. Ha! I'm glad someone told me about the Casio, because it is a far superior choice. Key differences between the two that make it amazing:
A solve routine
Responsive keys
Clear display
Might I also add, for the FE takers out there, that it derives and integrates? Yeah, the TI30X is basically a cheapy free calculator in comparison.

«Workhorse on the cheap...»
I love using this calculator. I used it for over 5 classes now. I have abused it so often I thought it would have died by now. Each time I take it out I am amazed how well it still works. My wife has a Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator. Often she will grab my Casio because it is so much easier to use. Also being its solar means no batteries to change, ever.
If you want a great calculator for a very good price then this is the one for you!
