Make sure to get a calculator that you can use on standardized tests, like the ACT and SAT.

I know, I'm just wondering if I can use the CX on the tests.

TI Nspire CX CAS:
•supposedly able to use on most tests (IS THIS TRUE?!?! because it says you can, but the SAT guidelines say none with a QWERTY keyboard are allowed.)

I've heard that there are special attachments you can get that will allow you to turn them into non-QWERTY so you can use them for the tests. I'm not sure though, so you should investigate.  smile

Re: TI Calculators

According to many sources, I can even use the CX on the tests.

Should I get the CX or CAS?

Do I really need the CX CAS because CX I can use on all tests...

Re: TI Calculators

My dad emailed the TI people and they said you can use the CX on all tests and CX CAS on the SAT and AP (the only other test I might take is the ACT).

So... Should I get the CAS because it's better?
Or should I get the CX because I can use it on the ACT?
