Well, in my college they don’t let us use graphing calculators altogether. I use a TI-89 for calc BC, but my teacher prohibits its use on tests in his class, so I’d have to borrow someone’s 84 for that, but I’m definitely using the 89 for the AP test.

As far as the SAT Math 2C, I used a TI-30XIIS scientific calculator because I did not own a graphing calculator and got an 800 on the test. I think the use of a graphing calculator, especially a TI-89, on a test like that is completely ludacrious. It’s like using an MG42 to hunt deer.
