<p>Hi, I've got a TI-89 Titanium, and I was wondering what are the most helpful programs to load upon it for AP Tests I am taking:
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics B</p>
<p>also I will be taking the SAT Math level 2 </p>
<p>Which programs would make solving problems quicker/more efficient.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Why you need programs for the AP exams? For Calc BC, as long as your calculator can do differentiation and integrals and graph, you’ll do fine. For Physics B, your calculator already has all the functions of a scientific calculator.</p>
<p>no, i mean arent their programs where your calculator has the equations for various items pre loaded?
like equations for area of curve, parabola, force, spring tension, etc</p>
<p>AP Calculus BC - derivatives and integrals you should know how to use easily. So what’s the point of putting equations in your TI-89. Arc Length formulas - if you put it in your calculator, go ahead. you will be damaging your integrity. </p>
<p>AP Physics B - no point. MC does not permit use of calculator. For FR, you’re given a formula sheet.</p>
<p>please tell me your joking. Programs for those tests???
If you actually know anything about the tests then u know that progs wont help.
there not allowed on the physics B multiple choice, on the calc BC test, your calculator should be able to do everything for you.</p>
<p>The creator of fenguin.net has a physics program with all the formulas arranged by chapter and section with notes in it too…
But seriously, you get a formula sheet with ALL the formulas you need for the frqs. If you don’t know which formulas to use and when, then you should probably spend more time studying and less time trying to cut corners :)</p>
<p>You know, the official rules do specify that your calculator’s memory must be cleared of all programs. So asking publicly about things like this may not be a wonderful idea.</p>
<p>@amarkov: I thought they didn’t…</p>
<p>anyways…gb68k+pokemon blue version ftw.</p>
<p>Calculators do not need to be cleared for the AP Calculus exam. I’m not certain about Physics, bu it would surprise me if they did.</p>
<p>But the only four functions that you’re allowed to use on the Calc exam are already built in to the calculation. Every other calculator operation requires you to show work, and most of the questions that just rely on knowing trivial formulas are on the non-calculator section anyway.</p>
