@wcao9311 Why does it matter if either one has more prestige? That’s not why I’m doing it, and they are very different types of contests.

@swiftyfan13x Good for you but as I said my school requires a calculator with a CAS system, and if all the schools had the same AP programs then AP tests scores would carry a lot more weight than they actually do in college admissions.

The question still stands, are there a lot of extra programs and functions available for the Nspire (I know you’d have to “jailbreak” first) like there are for the 89, or is there a large gap? Is it easier to find good programs for the Nspire or the 89? Which one will serve me best during contests?
