<p>same as title</p>

<p>believe it or not, I really wanted to know the answer to this question, anybody know?</p>

<p>Cause college board says you may have 2 calcs so theyre not alot to bot you for using 2 at once although i am pretty sure since proctors are not vey inteligent would think your cheating or doing something rediculose. But i would really like to know</p>

3

<p>What would you use 2 calculators for at the same time? And why would you?</p>

4

<p>Yes, I'm pretty sure you can. On SAT I math and math IIC I used 3 calculators haha. a Ti-30XIIS (quick arithmetic) Ti-84+ ( graphing) Ti-89T (Solver)</p>

5

<p>Yup you can (only 2 though, the information is on the course description on the CB website)</p>

<p>For SAT I remember that the proctor told us we can only use one calculator at a time.</p>

6

<p>are you 100% sure about that?
i know it says 2, yes but the question is is that 2 on your desk well taking it or 1 using and one under your desk away how do you interpret CB words. because it might mean its for backup only, you know these proctors could rfeally be a pain, and the guy on top said sat there was 1, and im sure they have the same guidelines, someone confirm or calc CB please, thanks for all the answers!</p>

<p>You can, as long as they are legal (No QWERTY, other rules blah blah blah). I used a TI-83+ and TI-89 Titanium on Calc AB.</p>

8

<p>haha i'm doing the same thing</p>

<p>TI-89 for differentiating/integrating and TI-84 for everything else</p>

9

<p>Haha, same here Chronic.</p>

10

<p>My AP Calc teacher (who's been teaching it for about 30 years) has encouraged us to bring two - while one is busily graphing a problem or solving something intricate, she says we can use the other one if need be.</p>

11

<p>can someone give me the URL for where it says you can use 2 on CB?</p>

12

<p>thats not fair to us poor people who only have one....</p>

Students may bring to the exam one or two (but no more than two) graphing calculators from the current List of Graphing Calculators.
