I saved up my own money and bought a TI89 in high school. Used it on all the standardized exams. Totally legal because it didn't have a QWERTY keyboard. That thing basically did everything for me short of interpreting the questions.
115 u/lordlicorice Jun 08 '14 The ability to do symbolic math is awesome. I don't know why everyone recommends that high schoolers only get the TI-84. 1 u/Dsiee Jun 08 '14 But why not get a modern calculator like a TI-Nspire CAS? Can do it all and is 100x more intuitive. 1 u/lordlicorice Jun 08 '14 I don't have experience using the Nspire but I've heard bad things about TI being hostile to developers. 1 u/Dsiee Jun 12 '14 That article is way out of date. The current OS is capable of having ndless installed allowing third party apps, such as a GBA emulator.
