- cmelbye 13y agoIt's incredibly common for TI calculators to be allowed on exams in the United States. Several standardized tests specifically allow only TI calculators, along with a few others. I think GP's comment makes a lot of sense. Most students just aren't going to put the effort into learning how to use another graphing calculator program if they can't even use it in class.
- asselinpaul 13y agoI am currently in Year 13 in London. You are definitely allowed TI in the mathematics exams (A-Levels). TI-89 is one of the only that is banned because of its CAS. Friends in the French system are allowed the TI 89 though.
- burriko 13y agoYep, I did Maths A-level in the UK back in the 90s, and a TI graphing calculator was basically a requirement for the exams.
- fophillips 13y agoInteresting, I wasn't allowed to use one in A-Levels or university exams.
- x0054 13y agoJust an hint, you can swap the guts of a TI-89 into the body of a TI-83. Don't ask me how I know :)
- glomph 13y agoI think it depends on the modules/exam boards.
- mbq 13y agoCasio also has some powerful calculators, including my beloved Algebra fx2+ and the ClassPad line which slowly converges to a kind of specialised tablet.
- neil_s 13y agoYeah, I used a Casio (non-programmable, but does integrations) for my (British) IGCSEs, a TI for the (International/Swiss) IB, and am back to using 'university approved' Casios at Cambridge.
