It is true that it is banned on these tests (because of the QWERTY keypad,
but if you really need a TI-92 for the math on these tests, you shouldn't
even have an 82! :) Most of the math is geometry, or is algebra that can
be done on a 4-function calc., and with the math on these test, you either
know it, or you don't.

And the TI-92 isn't banned from "almost every math class in America", I
don't know where you got that from.
