<p>they will NOT clear my notefolios, correct?! i have them specifically for AP Statistics :]</p>
<p>So, you’re going to cheat on the AP Stats exam?</p>
<p>it’s not cheating if i know what i’m doing. you think my honors physics teacher encourages us to cheat on every single test? LOL. it’s a learning tool.</p>
<p>But really? Do you need notes to help you? The best tool is your brain (Kinda cliche). It can store so much more information than a TI-89, even though it computes faster than you do.</p>
<p>they don’t ask to clear at em. they just look to see if it’s allowed an allowed calc.</p>
<p>Calculators will not be cleared. You just can’t bring a calculator that isn’t allowed (like one with a QWERTY keyboard, etc.).</p>
<p>I can’t believe that two persons have condoned cheating.</p>
<p>I would advise that you do not undergo that action.</p>
<p>Its not cheating as the calculator is allowed. CollegeBoard knows exactly what the TI-89 can do (it is far, far more advanced the the TI-84). Technically, you can write notes in the TI-84 (my friend does lol). </p>
<p>With that said, how do you write notes in the 89? I have a ton of programs for basically everything (especially SAT and Pre-Cal), but it could be useful for class nonetheless.</p>
<p>“I can’t believe that two persons have condoned cheating.”</p>
<p>if that’s your definition of cheating, then don’t forget my school principal, the head of our math+science department, many college professors, etc., etc. ;)</p>
<p>santeria-your 89 should come with a program called ‘notefolio’. once you click on it, you can use the letters to type on it with. most helpful for formulas & stuff :]</p>
<p>I’ve devised a rather ghetto way to store notes on the TI-84. Hit “PRGM” (it’s on the right of APPS), go to “NEW”, and hit “Create New”. Give it whatever name you want, and then start typing your notes as code. It can be a ***** to use A-LOCK to type, and plus you can only use capital letters, but it can be done. Next time you want to look at the notes, hit “PRGM”, go over to “EDIT”, and select your program. You’ll be reading the code - a.k.a. the notes that you’ve typed.</p>
<p>Before I got the CAS, I used it to store my unit circle values for sine and cosine.</p>
<p>But putting notes on your calculator would make the exam an open-note or open-book exam, which kills the purpose of learning stats or, in my belief, the purpose of evaluating your mastery of the subject.</p>
<p>Well Jerry, to play the Devil’s advocate, somebody who needs to look in their notes for the majority of AP questions will probably run out of time to finish the exam. If they allow a tool that can hold notes, I don’t see a problem with referencing a few formulas and conditions. You’re given a formula sheet on stats anyway, I believe.</p>
<p>So…what’s your name and school?..I’m not going to report you or anything…just curious…</p>
<p>"It is not only inappropriate, but unethical, for students who are taking the
AP Statistics Exam to have access to any information in their graphing calculators
or elsewhere that is not directly related to upgrading the statistical functionality
of older graphing calculators to make them comparable to statistical features
found on newer models.</p>
<p>During the exam, students are not permitted to have access to any information in
their graphing calculators or elsewhere that is not directly related to upgrading
the statistical functionality of older graphing calculators to make them comparable
to statistical features found on newer models.
Acceptable upgrades include improving the calculator’s computational functionalities
and/or graphical functionalities for data that students key into the calculator
while taking the exam.</p>
<p>Unacceptable enhancements include, but are not limited to, keying or scanning
text or response templates into the calculator. Students attempting to augment
the capabilities of their graphing calculators in any way other than for the purpose
of upgrading features, as described above, will be considered to be cheating on
the exam." - AP Statistics Course Description</p>
<p>Too bad proctors don’t check your calculator.</p>
<p>^You are given a formula sheet for both the MC and the FRQ.</p>
<p>^Oh ****, dropping the ethics bomb</p>
<p>Ah, that’s very interesting. In that case, I retract my previous comment and do not condone keeping formulas and information on one’s calculator. I think we can all agree that the TI-89 is certainly a “newer model”. (:</p>
<p>eh, if they don’t check, they don’t check. my conscious will be all right.</p>
<p>“So…what’s your name and school?..I’m not going to report you or anything…just curious…”</p>
<p>LOL, um, how about not?</p>
<p>I believe jgraider is trying to verify if you two go to the same school together or possibly district.</p>
<p>@Keasbey Nights. I thought the TI-Nspire is the newer model. Besides, you got to be amazed by how big and fancy it is compared to the TI-89.</p>
<p>^Haha, well I was joking about reporting them to collegeboard for academic dishonesty, but in all honesty, I don’t care what they. I,for one, won’t be storing notes though</p>
