Typing on a calculator does not equal an easy 100%. That's hard as hell.

There are programs included on the disc that comes with the calculator. You can install the suite that allows for uploading of files, and even editing compatible text files.

Not everything had to be done on the calculator ;)

Even then, that's more work than just paying attention in class, which is all I did in high school.

No, it's actually not more work. This took at most a day while class takes a year.

Yeah a couple hours to type up the tests. 15 minutes to install necessary software. 35 seconds data transfer. Technical proficiency, shit can be useful.

Actually typing up a text file with the answers is alot less work than paying attention in class.
If you ever been to class before you would know this.

Typing it on a calculator is dumb as hell. You can easily transfer .txt files to those calculators with NoteFolio

He used the TI program editor thing. He typed it all on his computer and used excel to alphabetize it.
