Is the TI-30XS MultiView allowed on the SAT, ACT and AP exams?

Yes. Texas Instruments lists it as approved for the SAT, ACT and AP exams. Check your test's current rules before exam day.

How is it different from the TI-30X IIS?

The MultiView adds a four-line display and MathPrint textbook-style entry. The IIS shows two lines and is simpler to operate.

Can it do fractions and statistics?

Yes. It handles fraction math, fraction-to-decimal conversion, and one- and two-variable statistics.

Does it graph functions?

No. It is a scientific calculator, not a graphing model. It can build an (x,y) table of values but cannot plot a graph.

It runs on both solar and battery power, so it keeps working in low light.

What comes in the box?

The calculator and a protective cover.

About the TI-30XS Multiview Calculator

The TI-30XS MultiView is a scientific calculator from Texas Instruments with a four-line, 16-character display. It lets you enter more than one calculation, compare results and explore patterns on the same screen.

The MathPrint feature shows expressions, symbols and fractions as they appear in textbooks. Scientific notation appears with proper superscripted exponents. Pull-down menus are similar to those on a graphing calculator, and all mode settings are in one central mode screen.

You can explore an (x,y) table of values for a given function, either automatically or by entering specific x values. The calculator handles fraction math and fraction/decimal conversion, and it lets you edit, cut and paste entries. It is approved for use on SAT, ACT and AP exams.
