Guest Katia Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I have a question about the calculators permitted for use during ACT testing. I have been to their web-site and read it several times. My question is: has anyone used a TI-83? It is not on their "not permitted" calculator list, so I'm thinking it would be ok. But, I'm just not sure. Should I have dd take both the TI-83 and her plain ole four function to see which they permit? When my older dd took the test, she just took the four function because she was comfortable with it, but this dd uses the TI-83 all the time and is very comfortable with it. What does the Hive Mind think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryM Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 TI-83 is just fine! That's what ds used. I think the only ones not allowed are the ones with the keyboard-like pad but I know for a fact that TI-84, 84, 92 are allowed. Good luck!

Brigid in NC Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yep, the TI-83 is fine. DS has used in several times. Be careful not to use the TI-89. That is not permitted, and it is a common calculator if your student is taking calculus courses. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 My tutoring kid used his TI-84+ and was fine. The whole TI-89 thing is interesting -- as Brigid says it's common for calculus students to need to use it for class, although it also seems common for calculus students to be forbidden to use it (because it does too much). I'm not sure what the pattern is... but I'm sticking with the TI-84 for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katarzyna Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 So the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 So the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is allowed? That's the one the tutoring kid has, and it's no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
