<p>Nowadays people just program w/e they want on these. I saw in one topic someone wanted to program synthetic division even! I mean they may be ok for like the quad. formula, which everyone knows how is taking the math II, but just going into notefolio and putting every formula known to this test is cheating... I strongly recommend that you guys don't....</p>
<p>deleted...........</p>
<p>god, my notefolio is packed w/ notes and formulas...mostly for class though, not for cheating on IIC ;).</p>
<p>exactly that is why the college board allows them. because they help people cheat.</p>
<p>Only someone who can't afford the calculator would say such a thing!</p>
<p>I took the SAT once and forgot my calculator....I went to a party the night before...got trashed and went to sleep at 4am. I still scored 580 on the Math section....I didnt do so hot in the other two though</p>
<p>They should require scientific calculators only :D.</p>
<p>nah...I hate scientific calculators.</p>
<p>our physics teacher only lets us use her scientific calcs b/c she's afraid everyone will cheat, and it probably takes me an extra 10 minutes on each test...graphing calcs are just easier, faster, and more efficient :).</p>
<p>oh come on...I bet more that 70% of the people owning TI 89 don't know how to use it and take advantage of its solve functions, etc. Storing notes in the folio will help you to a little extent. I bet all those formulas they tell us to memorize for the test are used very little. Also,actually typing the notes into the folio is gruesome. You will probably memorize the formulas by the time you have finished typing them.
Also, it is call Math II C. C means calculator. Graphing calculators are needed quite a bit. It would be really fun graphing a trig function for one question in the one hour span of the test (sarcasm)</p>
<p>They never make you graph a trig function. You don't even need a calculator to graph because they rarely make you do that.</p>
<p>I have become a moderately fast Ti-89 typer.</p>
<p>I don't know what that says about me, though...</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Why would you need to program synthetic division? The TI-89 will divide polynomials for you.</p>
<p>I think you are allowed to use anything you have on your calculator. I don't think it's consider cheating. Not like you would really need it for L2 anyway.</p>
<p>you can just type the notes on your computer and transfer them to notfolio...that what i do if i have a lot of notes...my friend takes digital pics of the textbook and puts them on his 89 sometimes, too much work for me, though</p>
<p>Wow now taking digital pics IS cheating.</p>
<p>If people want to put everything into their calculator, what's it matter to you? As far as I'm concerned, if you try and take the test having to go through all that stuff you've saved, you're worse off.</p>
<p>psh.
no one owns or uses anything above the ti-84 where i live.
you think i'm kidding.</p>
<p>Same here except for 1 kid. I didn't even know anything existed past 84.</p>
<p>yea...def never knew a ti-84 existed...everyone here uses either a ti-82 or 83...some lucky guy has an 83 Plus</p>
<p>TI-89's preloaded functions are more than enough for the SAT. I personally find that using a calculator slows me down.</p>
<p>Don't bother with programs. You'll just be wasting precious test time searching through your files.</p>
