Using the TI-89 is the most common reason students are dismissed from the ACT for calculator issues.

<p>HS testing centers in the east that are used to administering the SAT might not pay as much attention as they should to the fact that TI-89s aren't allowed on the ACT. The one time I tried out the ACT I saw people go into the testing rooms w/ TI-89s and I don't believe their proctors said anything. One guy in my room was adamant that no graphing calculators were allowed and I had to get the proctor to read out the rules in the booklet.</p>
<p>Our testing room had print out of the calculators allowed.
I remember it saying no Ti 89,92 or N-spire. o_o</p>
<p>well that's not true because when i bought my TI-89 titanium it said, permitted on the SAT..so there's your answer.</p>
<p>desi_chick,
permitted on the SAT, but not the ACT....</p>
<p>I was referring to the ACT.
I know it is allowed on the SAT because I personally used it.</p>
<p>alright thanks guys</p>
<p>You can easily replace the casing. Minor modifications.</p>
<p>I tried that.
key positions threw me off.</p>
<p>It'll fit perfectly if your desperate enough.</p>
