Hi, i have the ti-nspire with the ti-84 keypad. I have no idea how to use the ti-nspire. I'm a really strong math student with a 100 avg in trig and 99 avg in precalc honors. I'm wondering if the ti-84 is all you need for the test? I find the ti-84 a lot easier to use since the buttons are bigger, which allows me to type a lot faster. Currently I have no idea how to do 1/10 the stuff i know how to do on the ti84. I have a very busy schedule and dont really have time to learn. I've spent 2hrs last weekend playing around with it and still have no idea how to use it. Im pretty familiar with the 84 since ive been using it for 3 years now. What should I do? Also, will doing the princeton review and barron's book be enough to get 750+. Thanks.

I have a TI-84 plus, which is fairly similar to the ti-84. In my opinion, it's quite sufficient for the test.

I did the entire test with my handy scientific calculator, and pulled an 800 without any trouble.

Ti-84 is more than good enough, just make sure you know how to use it as efficiently as possible

Calculators often slow you down so don't rely on it too much.

TI-84 may be quite helpful on SAT II math - and is sufficient enough.
Barron's includes more than needed and is more difficult. I'd suggest SparkNotes.
