<p>I guess it is crunchtime. Doesn’t help that I, also, have two huge projects due next week as well as several other commitments. Shame on me. </p>
<p>Any suggestions? I have a silver edition TI84. Anyone know any programs for it so I can skip the “memorizing loads of equations” for the math part and focus on bio (which I took last year)?</p>
<p>Go to ticalc.org and look for the program you need the most. DIrectorsCUt, just learn how to use the main algebra features on your TI-89, especially solve()… if you have a good math background a 700+ should be EASY.</p>
<p>Thank god for TI-89s</p>
<p>Optimiztion… if I were you I would focus on BIology more than Math… you can figure out math as you go, but you have to know Biology</p>
<p>honestly speaking, there’s really not much to remember for math2. i only used ti84 silver ed for graphs and statistics. trigo and stuff can be done with a non-graphing scientific calc… and don’t rely too much on your calc…</p>
<p>really? so a ti89 would be very helpful for the test? O_O i will get one tomorrow…but i’m still not sure. i’ve heard an 89 is primarily for calc +, but 2c doesn’t test that far up.</p>
<p>uh, answering your question, i havent studied either rigorously…or at all. i’ve been filling out summer program apps…gosh. but i will after i do my homework tonight. haha…</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it for this test. If you do poorly, just buy one for the next time u take it. But yeah u will get screwed if you go into the test and do not know how to use the calculator</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend getting an 89 this close to the test. You’ll be spending more time trying to familiarize yourself with it rather than studying to do well on the actual test.</p>
<p>That said, if you’re already familiar with the 89, it can be a godsend.</p>
<p>you mainly just need a graphing calculator… I used a TI-84, which is probably exactly the same as 83. You don’t really need programs (I didn’t use any), and trying to figure them out this late probably wouldn’t be the best idea, though you can probably do it. (I would recommend doing the old fashioned way.) All you really need to do is to know how to graph and you’re good to go. It is a breeze.</p>
