<p>Just a quick question: is the ti-89 allowed for the SAT?</p>
<p>nope, only -83, -83 plus, -84, etc… or a simple calculator (+,/,*,-) is allowed. Besides, you wont need to use complex calculations for the sat…</p>
<p>I am aware that I don’t need the calculator for complex calculations but it is the only one I have in my possession.</p>
<p>Thanks for your answer.</p>
<p>any calculator (with out a keyboard) is allowed, proctors really dont check, 2 or 3 people were using a ti-89 in the room I took the exam this may. </p>
<p>However, you really dont need it on the exam. It would best just to use a ti-83 + etc, just use any calculator you’re comfortable with.</p>
<p>Yes, the TI-89 Titanium is allowed on the SAT. The ACT, however, does not allow it.</p>
<p>Hope this helps you out.</p>
<p>^ You are correct; benhpark is mistaken.</p>
<p>oh, it was? thank you, jefgreen. whew… i thought my TI-89 was of no use.
i stand corrected. :)</p>
<p>No problem :). Just as an aside, all you really need is a simple scientific calculator. Albeit, a graphing calculator does save a bit of time if you want to use it for graphing and all of that nonsense.</p>
<p>Also, for students who are not completely fluent at solving algebraic equations, the solve function is very helpful. It is the one thing that sets the ti89 apart.</p>
<p>What exactly is the solve function? Because doesnt the 83, 84, etc. have that thing where you go to catalog and then solve(</p>
<p>I used the TI-89 Titanium on the PSAT and SAT and I saw several other students also using it.</p>
<p>What is the solve function?</p>
<p>You can put in an expression, like solve(2x+3=5,x) and it spits out the x value. Here, it would say x = 1. You can also put in multiple values, like x, y, etc, and it gives you there value related to each other. It’s a very nice feature.</p>
