is the TI-30XS suitable for the GED test

Yes indeed it is..., once you learn how the functions on it work, using it for the GED test will be so much easier. Although you won't be able to take it with you into the GED testing room because on the actual test it will appear as an on-screen version but it will still have the same functions as that of the actual calculator. Which means you will still be able to work out the answers on the GED in the same way as you would if you had the calculator in front of you.

It is somewhat similar to the TI 92 graphing calculator; however, it is definitely not the best source for graphing specifically. It has nice 3-D pictures but I usually use other sources online for graphing problems. If a graphing calculator is what you're looking for, I would get a newer model because this calculator is better for solving difficult equations and have step by step instructions to solve them. My primary reason for purchase was for assistance in my calculus 3 class.

Hi Jessy, my daughter says you don't miss out on any features but the Casio is way more complicated than the TI. Even her math teacher was unable to help my daughter navigate the Casio. If all your classmates have the TI, it would make your life easier to get the TI so you can be on the same page as them. My daughter missed out on a bit of classroom instruction because she was too busy trying to figure out the Casio.

Don't buy this model. It is outdated by more than 10 years. The main difference is the quantity of memory. Titanium supersede it 10 years ago and costs much less. The colors shown on the photo are not actual. Buy a Titanium for +/- $120. Titanium does everything for algebra, including inequalites, nth root, log, Ln, solves systems of several variables, matrices, integral, derivatives. It is really a dream. I had to return it and got a TI-89 Titanium. To have it clear, go to TI site.

Yes the same, possibly a new model with a differnt chip set or color. It has CAS, for 3-D graphing you may have to download the OS update from Casio (when it first came out it didn't have it)

For my money, NO. Their are many different models of the TI-84. Currently, for example, it is available with a back-lit screen and high definition graphing, and it comes in a variety of attractive colors. Also, it can display mathematical expressions as they appear on paper. For example, the square root of 8 places the '8' directly UNDER the square root radical rather than placing '8' in parentheses directly AFTER the radical. For me, that, and similar expressions, is not worth paying double money! Another consideration, the CASIO, for example, can perform the four calculator operations defined by the Test Development Committee for the AP Calculus examination: produce a graph, find the zeros, calculate the derivative, calculate the integral. I find the CASIO both faster and more user friendly for these and other operations. (Some other reviewers disagree.) The Casio, when each pixel on the screen is set to 0.1, graphs from -6.3 to 6.3; the TI only graphs from -4.7 to 4.7. This means that the CASIO can graph two full cycles of the trigonometric functions such as the sine and cosine. There is more that could be said. But I have known several people who were glad they bought the CASIO. I would be pleased to hear about your opinion at the end of the coming school year if you decide to buy the CASIO.

I could use it for my GRE and the SATs you can use like any calculator, so yes.

Yes. Its very basic though. Speed, cadence, distance, heart rate (Polar compatible) and gear. The gear indicator is a great feature for maintaining resistance through your training.

It work excellent, it makes any calculus you need, include programming in TI-Basic that it´s very usefull. I´m very happy with my TI Nspire Used buy in Amazon for less $30.

Yes. No problem other than loosing a little IQ depending on the 2X you use. Buy the best you can afford!

I have a TI-83 that I'm using this semester for my college Statistics class. The instructor treats this model the same as the TI-84 when giving directions on how to use, and it has worked great!

If you awill just use this for algebra then you might as well not get it...i have this calculator and it was very uselful for Calculus and trig but just for Algebra it might be unnecessary my Algebra teacher in college doesnt even let us use a graphing calculator so i would say you dont really need it and beside this way you could save some money

I think so. Algebra 2. SATshould be no problem. I found my son always to use in SAT practice.

Here you go, this is the best answer I could find - http://education.ti.com/en/us/product-resources/graphing_course_comparision

It's a bit advanced for freshman physics but will be verry handy down the road. It is easy to use but your teachers probably won't know how to use it right off the bat because it's not the standard TI-80 layout.

The TI-84 is a great calculator for high school, but as an engineering student I use this calculator for differential equations, advanced calculus, fluid dynamics, and various other critically important and necessary subjects to modern day engineering. For an additional 30 dollars it is absolutely worth the upgrade.

10bII+ has more equation functions than the standard 10bII. If you are going to use it for a basic fiance class you will be fine with either, but I think they are they same price so you will just get more with 10bII+, also rumor has it that the 10bII+ runs a bit faster, however that is what my professor told me, as I didn't really get to compare that theory.
