Finally A Calculator that I can use on Standardized tests . . .

So, as you know, I am a full time student at Cleveland State University.
Last year (2010-2011) I was taking classes at Cuyahoga Community College.  One of my classes required a TI-84, which is a great calculator, but since it is programmable it is not approved for standardized tests.  I recall, in high school, when we needed a TI-81, we learned really early on that you could store info in it . . . Portable cheat sheet . . .

I have ordered several calculators this semester, trying to find one that did everything I needed, but was standardized test approved.  Finally I found a winner, the TI 36X Pro . . . .




This baby even has a quadratic function . . . which saves a LOT of potential error and TIME!
So, please learn from my disdain!  This calculator does all of the basic functions of a TI-84 and then some!  And, at Amazon, it is Prime eligible! 
I highly recommend a Prime Student account to any and all students . . .Free shipping, during special events free 1 day or 2 day shipping, Streaming Video online (ours goes through our Blu-ray Player), all for one annual fee . . . (No, I don't get anything for that recommendation, I'm just trying to save you some fundage!  ;) )
With all of these calculators, once I am done with them, my stepson will be ready for them . . .
