My exam centre took my casio fx-991EX during IAL Pure 1 and Physics U1 I genuinely want a retake

Today during my Edexcel IAL P1, the exam officer confiscated my Casio fx-991EX because she said differentiation/integration functions were not allowed.

But isn’t the fx-991EX a non-CAS calculator and commonly permitted for Edexcel exams?

They replaced it with a very basic calculator I had never used before, that cannot even display fraction. And when I tried explaining that the 991EX was allowed, the exam officer got angry, raised her voice at me, and threatened to kick me before the exam started.

After that, I completely lost focus during the paper and genuinely feel like it completely ruined my performance. I honestly want a retake rather than just special consideration.

Has anyone experienced something similar before? Would Edexcel allow a free retake or make the exam centre pay for one if the restriction was incorrect?
