I feel that downloading some programs may give me a edge on the calculator portions. Do you guys recommend any good programs?
You can find a list of programs here:

However, you won’t need any fancy calculator programs; I scored a 5 on AB and BC with a TI-NSpire with only the built-in functions. That said, I can’t recommend any of them, but you can definitely check them out and get ones you think can save you time.
Ti NSpire is a superior calculator compared to TI-84.
@ueutyi Eh, not sure about mine (it’s one of the original ones). Other than the improved UI and resolution, it is essentially the same as the TI-84 in terms of functionality. I know some of the more advanced ones (ones with CAS capability) are more superior.
The only thing you’ll ever really use are the nDeriv and fnInt functions, lol If your calculator isn’t Ti-84 Plus, get the software package for the Plus version because it’s so OP… You don’t even have to remember the order of integral inputs like fnInt(blahblahintegrand,A,B,x)…it shows you the integral on the screen…
