[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 sons in college. I forbade them from using calculators required in Math in the gifted center and Takoma Park magnet. SAT and PSAT math problems can be solved easily without dependence on calculators. Top math students understand this and really do not waste time with calculators during college board exams since garbage in and garbage out! Best to understand the fundamentals of problem solving. The first child missed NMF by a point since content was from middle school and he made some silly errors. Last child scored a 25 on PSAT and garnered NMF for whatever that is worth on this middle school level math test = PSAT Good luck. [/quote] My nephew, a National Merit Scholar, said the calculator is crucial as a time saving device, but to each his own. He scored 1580 on first try with no tutors or classes and would never have been admitted to a top IVY last year without that SAT score.[/quote]
