Calculator Information

*Memory cleared: Instructors can request that calculators have their memory cleared before a student begins their test. Available for Scientific, Financial, and Graphing calculators.

**Testing mode: This function is for the TI-nspire series of calculators. Testing mode disables documents, selected functions, and programs on a calculator without them being deleted from the memory. If an instructor requests calculators to be cleared, it is our practice to put TI-nspire’s into Testing Mode.
