<p>What programs should I put in that would save time/give me a cheater's way to doing certain problems?</p>
<p>Also, bonus question: What formulas, that are not given to me, should I memorize to speed things up?</p>
<p>I honestly didn’t install programs into my calculator for the Math II test, and still scored 800. If you have a graphing calculator, you should be able to do all the problems without any additional programs. However there were a few problems where defining a formula on the calculator (e.g. f(x): = …) saved me a bit of time, so that I don’t have to re-enter the formula several times.</p>
<p>Some good theorems/topics to keep in mind, but not an exhaustive list: quadratic formula, most basic trig identities, logarithmic identities, area/volume formulas, counting/combinatorics (the latter is usually not taught very well in HS, so consult outside resources).</p>
<p>Ditto MITer94-- I didn’t install any extra programs in my calculator. (I had the quadratic formula already in, for use in my regular math class, but didn’t use it at all during the test.)</p>
