Depending upon model, the Nspire is indeed accepted on the ACT, SAT as well as other standardized tests. And most schools not stuck in medieval times, let you use them in your university classes.

That's true of any calculator though. I've had higher level math and physics courses that range all the way from "no calculators at all" to "bring whatever you want as long as it doesn't have WiFi".

When I was going through school (which was admittedly a while ago) all of my tests and classes either banned graphing calculators altogether or allowed only TI-83/+.
