<p>Can we use them on the SSAT? If so, what kind (graphing, what levels, programming, etc.)…</p>
<p>I took it last year but I completely forgot protocol for the test. Can I program my graphing calculator? I’m learning Java but I’ve studied Visual BASIC so I would be able to create quick short cuts for math equations. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>how can u use java to make short cut for math?</p>
<p>Sorry, the info regarding Java was extraneous. The TI - 8x however, do use Visual BASIC to create programs to solve an equation, I believe. For example, you can create an equation which solves the quadratic formula and displays you the two answers. While you can do that with a graph (and calc function 5) it will be quicker with certain algorithms. Also, it is impossible to know the answer as an “a+bi” result through the graphs, whereas with the algorithm I would be able to value a variable, x, as “a+bi”.</p>
<p>I don’t think calculators are allowed.
You don’t need it anyways…</p>
<p>I went through about 100 practice problems with mental but it would obviously be easier with calculators, so…
You are right, should be no problem.</p>
<p>You can’t use them, the SSAT is easy enough already</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it! You can’t use calculators, but the calculations are easy as 5+7</p>
<p>** No Calculators **</p>
