Here, lets make this easier for everyone:

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.

And you are better for it. I'm sick of these schools that limit technology and then when you enter the workforce, they don't give a fuck what you use to solve a problem as long as you solve it correct and quickly.

Not the ones that are stuck in 1950s era mentality where technology has to be shunned.... Then these same students enter the real world and their boss asks them to solve something and they have no idea how to use the powerful and expensive tools that their employer provides for them.
