Calculator Program for SAT Vocab

Test Preparation
1

<p>pleease tell me if you know of any Vocab program that can be downloaded on a calculator so that you can see a word and its meaning. this is for the SAT. thanks</p>

2

<p>Don't tell me you're planning on using it during the SATs.</p>

<p>Because that just screams "Cheating."</p>

3

<p>ditto Taggart. get a dictionary.</p>

4

<p>Can't use the calculator during verbal sections anyways.</p>

5

<p>ya. If they would let us, I think everyone would use it.</p>

6

<p>someone ban op</p>

7

<p>Maybe.. Just maybe, he plans on using it to study during classes. :D</p>

<p>THE reason why there are those little "no calculator" icons on every non-math page of the SAT is because tons of people were doing exactly what the OP was thinking of doing on the Old SAT. </p>

<p>I will admit that I helped students prgm their calc for just that purpose, but now unless your proctor is a complete moron (possible-yes, likely-no), you will get caught and they will take your calc away. </p>

<p>Honestly, the paperwork on DQ someone is ferocious, and for $10 per hour, your proctor isnt going to spend an extra unpaid hour to complete it, unless you give him/her a reason to have to do it.</p>

<p>wow chris i've never thought of it that way</p>

<p>Sad when pathetic, test-obsessed people have to cheat at the SAT’s…
If you have to cheat then you probably can’t handle the work anyways, not like it’s a really difficult test…</p>

11

<p>Like pugfug said, its useful to study with during class.</p>

12

<p>It’s funny how the first responses to this thread is the OP must be wanting to cheat on the SATs.</p>

<p>That’s pretty far-fetched I must say…</p>

<p>There could be billions of other reasons, yet we resort to this.</p>

<p>Sighhh</p>

13

<p>My guess is that no such program exists. If you’re studying for the SAT, it might just be easier to do your studying near a computer where you can google various words. </p>

<p>If you want to use the program during the SATs, it may or may not be considered cheating, as one can use any homebrew programs they want. But even if you could use the program, would you want to? The calculators don’t have QWERTY keyboards, so it would burn huge amounts of time, and sentence completion problems usually have 5-6 words that you have to know.</p>

14

<p>Hypothetically a person could use the program during a math section and flip back to the vocab or memorize the order of words and re-bubble. Or as a person takes the sc flip the pages a little bit and write the words you don’t know down on a math page with the letter and problem # down beside it. You’d would have to be extremely fast in the math section though in order to make up time.</p>

<p>This is absolutely cheating and I certainly don’t condone it but I am just saying it is possible.</p>

<p>There are two programs for the TI-89:</p>

<p>But I doubt the TI-83/84 have enough memory for such a program.</p>
