I was often allowed to use graphing calculators on my engineering tests, but the questions were usually of the type that they were useless. Being able to graph something isn’t going to help you much when you’ve gotta be deriving equations.

Was never allowed to use calculators in any of my math classes (calc 3d, diff eq., statistics, complex analysis, partial differential equations). For the complex analysis and PDE classes we were occasionally expected to use Mathematica, but for a lot of problems it didn’t do much.
