<p>CollegeBoard states that scientific calculators are allowed. However, I'm still a little unsure of whether I can use the TI89, because it's not allowed for almost every other test I know. So, what do you guys think?</p>
<p>The proctor took mine away from me when I took the test. It doesn't violate any of the rules on collegeboard.com though. I suggest bringing it along with a back-up.</p>
<p>You can use it.</p>
<p>I took the SAT Reasoning Test a month ago at the same testing center like you'll take it.
At the beginneing, the proctor was unsure but we could eventually persuade her into allowing it ("What, I can't believe that. I'd never allow my students to use this!"). </p>
<p>I think it's a scandal that some proctors just take TI89's away. Did you do anything about it Python?</p>
<p>It is allowed according to the official rules.</p>
<p>In that case could you just look at the proctor and be like, no, you can't have it?</p>
<p>you can use it on collegeboard exams, but you can't on the act's</p>
<p>Ristor, I asked her if she was 100% sure that they weren't allowed to be used and the ignorant _________ refused to let me keep it. Needless to say I wasn't too happy, seeing as it certainly had a negative impact on my score.</p>
<p>wait you can't have a TI 89 on the ACT's?</p>
<p>if i have above a 2300 on my SAT, do i really need to take my ACT anyway</p>
<p>if your proctor tried to take it away, how would you go about convincing him/her to let you use it? besides using sheer charm, of course.</p>
<p>print out the thing on collegeboard that says you can use it :)</p>
<p>@DeltaRoyale: that's actually a good idea, I think I'll do that :D</p>
<p>@Rister_Chutophs: Shouldn't you be in bed already, don't you have school tomorrow? ;) I'm kidding... But I'm relieved to hear that the proctor allowed the TI-89 eventually. BTW: What was your Reasoning score? PM me please, since this is off-topic.</p>
<p>And yes, the TI-89 is not allowed on the ACT.</p>
<p>Yeah, you can use an 89 on the SAT but not on the ACT.</p>
<p>it's allowed for the SAT but not for the ACT. If you/re taking the SAT and the proctor wants to take it away, you should fight for it because it is definitely allowed for the SAT</p>
