<p>Are you allowed to store formulae on your calculator? Or is that considered cheating? Some formulae are really helpful (like the sequencing onces and the permutations ones.)</p>
<p>its a gray area really. some think its cheating while others don't. The proctor <em>shouldn't</em> check your calc for programs nor will collegeboard make you erase your memory, so you can store formulas without repercussions. Honestly though, you are better off knowing how to use the formulas without a calculator because you will save time in the end. Personally, I use only one program that I created myself--- it displays all factors of the number given and does basic modular arithmetic for those pesky remainder problems.</p>
<p>Every formula you should need on the SATs should be listed at the beginning of the math sections.</p>
<p>There is no need to store any formula on your calculator. You will not need them. It's for such reasons why the proctors don't check your calculator.</p>
<p>Ya I personally think that its some what cheating. Plus for SAT I math there aren't that many formulas to remember anyways...</p>
<p>I did not use a calculator for the January exam and still got an 800 on math. You will NEVER need a calculator. I looked at the Kaplan books, and these problems required calculators for accuracy (like square root of 724) but these are not accurate as every official problems I have tried never required a calculator.</p>
<p>I think it would slow you down to have to look at your calculator for formulas. It would be easier to just memorize them, since there's not very many. The SAT is meant to be taken without needing a calculator, anyway.</p>
<p>Most of the stuff is already built into your calculator (probability, permutations, combinations, etc) , so I don't see why you'd need to store extra formulas.</p>
