<p>Or if you would recommend a different one.</p>

<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>Those are all the same calculator with the same features and functions (math- wise). So the choice isn’t a big one.</p>

<p>Also, do not go and and buy a calculator for the SAT that you do not know how to use. I have had the same 2 calculators for 2.5 and 4.5 respectively and there is still still much I don’t know omhow to do. You don’t want yo find out you don’t know how to do something mid-test.</p>

<p>You don’t need a graphing calculator for Math II.</p>

<p>I got 800 with this.

<p>Yep, thanks for the advice :)</p>

6

<p>classic sharp I remember those, well done on your score :)</p>

7

<p>Yeah, you can definitely score an 800 with just a scientific calculator. I didn’t see any questions that required the graphing capability, or other advanced features that most graphing calculators have.</p>

<p>I always use the TI-nspire CX, which is easy to use (it’s set up like a computer), and has several handy features like numerical solve, which can solve an equation for z</p>

<p>Oh right, I am going to order the TI 84 silver plus c edition, but thanks for your help. I have got the casio as well :)</p>

<p>I used TI-Nspire CX CAS cause it has alot of features including allowing you to solve algebraic equations and help you to answer questions much more quickly.

<p>However, since the CAS version can only be used for a small group of tests (including the SAT), I recommend the non-CAS version if you intend to use a GDC for other tests (including IB math etc.) [Amazon.com:</a> Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX Graphing Calculator: Electronics](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-TI-Nspire-Graphing-Calculator/dp/B004NBZAW0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1385205835&sr=1-2&keywords=ti+nspire+cx+cas]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-TI-Nspire-Graphing-Calculator/dp/B004NBZAW0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1385205835&sr=1-2&keywords=ti+nspire+cx+cas)</p>
