Calculator Allowed for AP Calculus AB?

<p>Hi.</p>

<p>Should I get the TI Nspire CX CAS Graphing Calculator to use for AP-Calculus AB and into AP Calc BC? I'm also in AP Physics and AP Chemistry. Is it even allowed on the exam?

<p>Yes, it’s allowed. ([AP:</a> Calculus AB](<a href=“AP Exams Calculator Policy – AP Students | College Board”>AP Exams Calculator Policy – AP Students | College Board). Was your Google broken?)</p>

<p>But it’s certainly more calculator than you need. A TI-84 is plenty. I’m still using the TI-83 that I bought in the late 1990s.</p>

<p>Lol yeah, my google wouldn’t connect, but it is now. (:
Would getting the TI-Nspire CX CAS actually benefit me any more than if I get the TI-84, or something alike? Besides price, that is.</p>

<p>I’m currently using a “TI-84 Plus Silver Edition” but since my younger sibling is going to need it, I thought I’d just give it to him and buy myself a newer calculator. And I plan to keep the new one I get forever (or until it breaks).</p>

<p>I heard Nspire has some really nice programs for Physics and Chem? I also heard that you don’t use calculators in math anymore once you get to college, heh.</p>
