Re: Ti-92, can it be used on SATs?
Actual SAT, and, for that matter, just about all standardized tests, use
this policy:
-We have a list of what you can, and can't use, but if you are uncertain,
this generally gives you an answer:
QWERTY, Radio/IR link, talking, printing, needs a plug
those are out.
Any kind of scripting, non-numerical storage, non-numerical input (Aside
from hex) or graphing ability is OUT on tests that aren't a class of
mathematics.
However, on the list, the TI-92 is mentioned as a no, since it can do
symbolic.
