<p>I have taken SAT prep and a few SAT's. I'm going for it again in the Fall but I've lost my graphing calculator. My impression is that a scientific calculator is sufficient for the SAT and that there is absolutely no need for a graphing calculator. Do I need to go out and spend $$ on a new graphing calculator?</p>
<p>No, I’ll just go with the scientific one. (or, even easier, borrow a graphing calc from a friend for a few hours.)</p>
<p>Um, if you’ve lost your graphing calculator and don’t think you’ll find it before fall starts, then you probably want a new one regardless of the SAT…</p>
<p>get one from ebay.</p>
<p>You won’t need it for the SAT, but you’ll definantly ned it durng class.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. You’ll need it for class so why not get it earlier. You don’t necessarily need it for the SAT, but I think it could definitely be helpful (programming formulas, graphing, etc)</p>
<p>I don’t need it for math in upcoming school year. Took calc as a junior and my school offers no math next year. Long story.</p>
<p>well, you’ll need it for college, right?</p>
<p>What about Quadform, Cubeform, Polar Coordinates, Standard Dev., etc. for SAT 1 Math?</p>
<p>
Not a single one of those was tested on the May 2010 SAT, and I don’t think any of them ever are (excepting possibly the quadratic formula).</p>
