<p>I have the Ti 83 plus calculator and I was wondering which is better for both the SATI math tests and SAT II Math IIc tests</p>
<p>I dont have a TI 89 and i want to put all the programs into the calculator, but i heard that some programs can't be put into the ti 83 plus.</p>
<p>should i get a brand new ti 89 calculator? or is it possible to find programs on ticalc for both sat I math and SAT2 math 2c in the TI 83 plus calc?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>A lot of math teachers don't allow the Ti-89, since it functions almost like a freaking computer.</p>
<p>It is allowed on the Subject Tests, though, I think.</p>
<p>But do you really want to spend 150 dollars on one test?
Plus, IIC isn't that hard.</p>
<p>Stick with the 83, I say.</p>
<p>i can get it on ebay for maybe 50-70$.</p>
<p>the problem with the ti 83 plus is that it doesnt allow the storage of several math IICs and math SAT computations. </p>
<p>most progs are meant for the ti 89 i think.</p>
<p>does anyone have a list [ticalc.org ] of SAT IIC and reg SAT math progs for the ti 83 plus ?</p>
<p>why do you need programs for those test? i got an 800 on both without doing any weird crap on my calculator.</p>
<p>i'm not that great at math [scored a 690 on my math sats]
hearing from some of the members on this forum, they get easy 800s with the usage of calc programs .</p>
<p>no need for programs on the Math IIC...plus you don't have to waste time to search for which program you use because all of the calculations on the test can be easily solved on any graphing calculator.</p>
<p>I am using my ti-84 plus se, its basically the ti-83</p>
<p>The programs I have put on there for SAT Math 1, from ticalc.org</p>
<p>FACTOR2- factoring program for parabolas
GCFLCM- find the gcf and lcm of multiple numbers(very useful)
GEOFORM- Geometry Formulas for wierd shapes and finding area, side lengths
POLYTOOL- Same as GEOFORM, different interface
QUADSLV- quadratic solver
STMSLV- simultaneous equstion solver for 5 eqs
TRISOLVE- triangle solver, very useful</p>
<p>thanks , are there any progs for the SAT IIC math?</p>
<p>I used (barely) the Factor 2 program and the quad solver for sat 2 math 2, didn't really need it. I got a 780. Knowing the concepts and how to apply them is most important. But, i am sure there are programs out there that can make the computation component easier.</p>
<p>thanks, does anyone else have any programs specifically for the SAT IIC math and the math as well?</p>
<p>can u put sat 2c programs into the ti 83 plus?</p>
<p>i know there was this program in another thread for the ti 89 only.</p>
<p>bump (10char)</p>
<p>sorry bump again. just need a little bit more help.
dont get annoyed please.</p>
<p>can't you make your own programs? i don't know how but most of my friends make their own programs like for law of sines and cosines etc.</p>
<p>LOL if i could do that myself, i wouldn't be asking other people.</p>
<p>conclusion: I'm an idiot.</p>
<p>go to the ti calc website and it has alot of formulas. I have many for distance, midpoint, slope formulas, cosine + sine laws, triangle solvers, area finders, etc... for my ti-83. A ti-89 might be better, but you still cant go wrong with an 83</p>
<p>thanks. but the ti 89 is liek a computer . might work even better . does anyone have the files for SAT IIC and reg math for the ti89 or ti 83?</p>
<p>like a complete compilation of files.</p>

<p>I just bought a TI-89 (haven't received yet). . . and now I'm having second doubts. Is using programs on the SAT. . . ethical? I'm curious. I'm not saying anyone is cheating, but I don't think I'd feel right. . .</p>
<p>you can do the same with the ti83 plus [progs], just that i'm wondering what's really the difference between the 89 and 83. </p>
<p>it's not cheating.</p>
