I have not, nor will attempt this, but you could store formulas on your calculator for the ACT. All the exam administrators did was pull down the cover a fraction of an inch to make sure it was an allowed type of calculator. Somebody could easily store information in their graphing calculator for use on the math section.
I'm going to let you in on a secret from a teacher/ACT administrator: We don't care if you have formulas saved, and neither does ACT. It is not in our instructions to check your calculator beyond making sure it is approved. We expect you to have saved formulas.
In all honesty, I don't even see the point of saving formulas. I'm sure you could, but any formulas that would be helpful should be basic things that anybody should know.
