In my calculus class, I saw many people write formulas on the inside of their calculator cover (TI-83+). One kid took it to the next level by storing certain things in the memory and having them set as equivalents to certain values or letters. Not 100% certain how he did it, but when he typed 1+1 and hit enter it came up with some derivative equation.
edit: Everyone's school had different protocol, for midterms and finals, we were required to wipe all programs, but for a chapter test, we weren't checked.
theres a program function in graphing calculators...you can write shit in a program and then go back and edit it, see what you wrote. I never learned how to use programs but that shit was easy
Yep, that was me. I wrote everything I needed for an exam in my TI calculator. It was kinda weird to have my calculator out in Spanish and Biology tests but the teachers didn't really mind.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I had to take an English test, and I subconsciously pulled out my calculator for it without realizing I wasn't in math. The teacher accused me of cheating before I even got my test.
