Are there any calculator programs to use for the math?

<p>I'm currently at 630-660 and would like to score 700 by Sat. Is there an easier way to go about this?</p>

<p>what kind of stuff do you have difficulty in with math. whatever you do, search "ti-84 programs ____________" with the underline whatever you have probs with. youl find some good stuff like on ticalc</p>

<p>There's not much you can really do, except hope you get 700. Doing stuff by hand is faster - the only practical application I can see of using the calculator is to maybe have it solve a single variable equation for you.</p>

<p>shiomi- I came across some useful ones that i may use. one of them like lists all the prime numbers from 1-100 and others like does the sum of any sequence. Those kinds can really help you out if youre stuck on a hard problem that involves those</p>

<p>^hmm the sequence one looks practical, I may actually get that one haha.</p>

6

<p>yup. what i figure is i have all this space on my calc, might as well use it.</p>

<p>I use calculator applications for solving equations, finding the third side of a triangle, polynomial division, factorizing numbers, finding roots, finding prime numbers, GCD and LCM, and MUCH more. ;) </p>

<p>Of course, more often than not, it's better to do it manually as the calculations on the SAT are ... superficial.</p>

<p>Care to post the helpful ones? :)</p>

<p>The thing is, I own a Casio CFX 9850 ... whose programming language is different from the TIs you guys have.</p>

<p>It's easy to find them though, just Google. ;)</p>

<p>oh meh u cheaters =[ well i dont think programs are gonna be that helpful tho, SAT math is straight forward =P</p>

11

<p>I actually tried a calc program on a few practice tests. I ended up using it one 1, 2 questions so its not that useful.</p>

12

<p>I have a ti-89. I can't thank it enough for saving me :P</p>

13

<p>I didn't program them specifically for the SAT, I already had them installed since the SAT Math IIC. ;) </p>

<p>Yes, I know there are hardly any questions that need the calculator, but that doesn't change the fact that it saves an enormous amount of time. :)</p>

14

<p>I wonder if the SAT will continue to become more ACT-like and ban the use of TI-89s.</p>

<p>There's no need for a calculator program. Everything can be done without one. The only thing a calculator is good for is to do quick arithmetic.</p>
