If not is the a tan/arctan chart allowed for the rlc phase angle questions?

I took and got the general last year but as I remember it I thought they limited
the test taker to basic function calculators....

OM,

You probably won't need a calculator, at least for the reactance
questions. Unless the pool has changed since I took the test, they're
worded in such a way that you can eliminate two answers based on Ohm's
law, and choose from the remaining two just by knowing that capacitance
lags and inductance leads.

Frankly, when I realized this, I was a little TO'd ;-J. I'd studied
reactance and polar/rectangular conversions for weeks in preparation for
the exam.

My advice is to spend more time on directional antenna arrays and
mosfet's; that's where the trick questions are.

HTH.
