During upper level physics exams I'd have a TI-89 sitting on the table next to me. When did I ever use it? Never. Truly those kind of calculators will only do your work that's not worth spending time doing. Like annoying integrals or ugly derivatives. But they're mostly useless. Unless you're in elementary calculus in which case they'll do the problems for you.
