calculator for Maths

<p>i wonder whether i am allowed use both scientific and graphing calculator at the same time during Sat Math level 1c and 2c. Anyone knows about that?</p>

<p>why would you need to? Is there anything you can do with the scientific calculator but not with the graphing?</p>

<p>the graphing calculator helps u in the graph questions as u can actually get the graph in the graphing calculator.</p>

<p>The ETS also sets questions under the assumption that all the test takers have a graphing calculator so there might be a question or two (these questions can be solved without a calculator but it might take some time) which u might need the graphing calculator rather than a scientific calculator.</p>

<p>I think that he was asking whether you could take two calculators to the test, a scientific one and a graphing one.
Again, what would you need to do that for?
The graphing calculator can do anything a scientific calculator can, so there's no need for the latter.</p>

<p>nope, cause i am very experienced with sciencetific calculator, i've just learn how to use graphing calculator. </p>

<p>By the way, scientific calculator have quadratic, cubic and some function you can solve automatically, very convinient ; permutation and combination</p>

<p>if i have to make a choice, i will cry</p>

<p>Hi daoanhtho,</p>

<p>I was in your position a few months ago. I brought both my scientific calculator and my graphing calculator because I was more comfortable with my scientific one and had just learned how to use the graphing one. I had both calculators on my desk, and was only using the scientific one, when the proctor came to me and asked that I choose one. That kind of sucked.</p>

<p>I called College Board a few months ago wondering about their policy, and the person whom I spoke with said it is acceptable to have both calculators. I told her about my proctor though, and she said you just have to follow the proctor's rules if he sets them out. When I took the SAT Is a few weeks ago, I had both calculators on my desk (I only used the scientific one), but my proctor didn't say anything.</p>

<p>I suppose if you <em>really</em> need to change, you could just say you need to use your back-up calculator. Although, you would have to stick with that calculator for the rest of the test.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Or, you could practice with the graphing calculator. It would probably be better than taking your chances with the proctor.
By the way, some graphing calculators do solve quadratic and cubic functions automatically.</p>
