Questions and answers

Is the TI-30XIIS allowed on the SAT and ACT?
Yes. Texas Instruments lists it as approved for the SAT, ACT and AP exams. Check your test's current calculator rules before test day.
Do I need the TI-30XIIS or a graphing calculator?
The TI-30XIIS covers algebra, geometry and statistics. If your course needs graphing, tables or calculus functions, you need a graphing model such as the TI-84.
Does it work without the battery?
Yes. It runs on solar power in good light, and the battery keeps it working in dim rooms. Replace the battery when the display fades.
Can it do fractions and statistics?
Yes. It handles fraction entry and conversion plus one- and two-variable statistics, including mean and standard deviation.
What comes in the box?
The calculator, a slide cover and a battery. It does not include a case beyond the cover or a USB cable.
When is it cheapest?
Back-to-school season is when demand peaks, so prices are often lowest outside July through September. Watch listings around winter and spring breaks.
