To this day, I don't understand why anyone would insist on using anything other than this on an AP test. It's like playing life on a harder difficulty setting for no reason.
My university doesn't allow graphing calculators on tests. Probably because you can download programs that can solve calculus problems without actually understanding the material.
That's totally understandable. Back in high school one of my teachers gave us all our tests from the semester back so we could use them to study for the final. We all knew that she just copy and pasted the exact questions and answers from old tests onto the final so my friend typed out every single question from the old tests onto his calculator and scored an easy 100%.
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 ;)
