<p>Which? Do the extra features on the TI make the test any easier? i personally find the casio more user-friendly for math operations. </p>

<p>Are you allowed to use both calculators (have both on the desk)?</p>

2

<p>I dont think you can use the TI-89…but then again Im not sure.</p>

<p>TI-89 is allowed: [TI-89</a> Titanium by Texas Instruments -US and Canada](<a href=“TI Products | Calculators and Technology | Texas Instruments”>http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productDetail/us_ti89ti.html)</p>

<p>doesn make a difference…
u don even need something as sophisticated as TI 89
it’s just an SAT math…</p>

<p>TI-89 would slow me down lol.</p>

<p>My trusty 83 silver is good enough for me.</p>

<p>I’ve used both the Casio and Ti 89 and the latter more reliable.</p>

<p>Once you familiarize yourself with the 89, there are many functions that will help cut down time.
But then again, the SAT doesn’t require a calculator and people have a hard time learning how to use it :P</p>

<p>well i use TI-89 in my math class in school so its not as if im not familiar with it…i would just say the casio is more user friendly.</p>

<p>but can we have both on our desks?</p>

<p>(p.s. the ti-89 might die because it runs on batteries, while the casio does not =p)</p>

<p>TI 89 for me :P</p>

<p>edit: I recomend that you use the one you’re most familiar with. not the “best” calculator out there.
Also, I think you’re only allowed 1 calculator, but if you wanna switch, cal proctor over and whatever. So, it wastes time, just use your casio.</p>

<p>I use my good ol’ TI-84 Plus. It’s slow when it comes to graphing (silver edition is super fast), but then there’s not much graphing to do…</p>

<p>The TI-89 is much better, if you know how to use it or have the time to learn. The TI-84 Plus is the most common best choice because it is the high end model of the TI seres that most high school teachers know how to use and feel comfortable teaching. But the worst thing you could do is to show up for the SAT with a calculator that you only kind of know how to use… Have Fun</p>
