<p>I am going to take the AP Calc A-B test this spring and I am wondering what the best calculator to use would be (the most features to check your work with). I currently have a ti-83+, but I am finding that it either dosent have the functions I am looking for, or it is very cumbersome to use them. Does anyone have a suggestions?</p>

<p>I am considering the TI-89, but I am not familiar with any of the HP, Casio or any other calculators.</p>

<p>A list of usable calculators is available here: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/calculus_ab/calc.html?calcab%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/calculus_ab/calc.html?calcab&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>can't ti 89s do derivatives?</p>

<p>The TI-89 by far, but of course you should use a calculator that you are familiar with.</p>

<p>Get the TI-89 ASAP so you can practice with it. It's simply the best that's allowed.</p>

<p>Be sure to load up with programs as well.</p>
