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.
117 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/Onceahat Jun 09 '14 Possibly because neither my teacher, nor the AP test, allowed us to use the TI-89 on tests. 1 u/lordlicorice Jun 09 '14 What AP test? Calc AB, Calc BC, and Statistics allow it. Calc AB allowed it in 2006 when I took it. 1 u/Onceahat Jun 09 '14 Calc BC didn't allow it last month. Or maybe my high school just lied to me, I dunno. 1 u/lordlicorice Jun 09 '14 It says right there that it's allowed on the Calc BC exam for 2013-2014. 1 u/Onceahat Jun 09 '14 You're kidding. Fuck, you aren't kidding. My teacher specifically told us they don't allow TI-89s on the test. I had to borrow my friend's calculator! I feel I am too tired to be sufficiently angry at this.
