Ti 89

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I was wondering if you can use the Ti 89 with physics? Like with unit conversions, significant figures, etc.</p>

2

<p>Sure. Program it and you can do a lot of problems with your calculator.</p>

3

<p>That calculator is a beast, when you know how to use it.</p>

4

<p>Does anyone know how to find significant digits on the TI-89? Or does it do it automatically when you do a unit conversion?</p>

5

<p>I believe you are not allowed to use any calculators in the SAT Physics test</p>

6

<p>I am just wondering for my physics class.</p>

7

<p>Anyone..........</p>

8

<p>if you are an IB student you are allowed to use TI 83-84 in physics classes but not TI 89</p>

9

<p>Yes, you can use the 89 with ANY STANDARDIZED College Board test. (basically, any test except the ACT, which is not administered by the College Board)</p>

10

<p>The physics and chem tests are NO CALC.</p>

11

<p>^ For the SAT II, you mean? If so, that's correct.</p>

<p>Parts of the BC Calculus and Physics AP exams do not allow any calculators, but when calculators ARE allowed, the 89 is acceptable.</p>

12

<p>I love the TI 89. Mine was stolen and I am back on a 83 for AP Calc AB, and I feel like I'm in the stone ages! The 89 is the only reason I got a 4 on the AP Physics test.</p>

13

<p>I wish they banned calc's on all math parts of all the sat tests. Then I would like to see how well kids do.</p>

14

<p>^That would be very stupid for the M2c.</p>

<p>SAT Physics does NOT allow calculators. Most of it is very simple math and concept based problems.</p>
