[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It seems you're unaware that all SAT exams across the U.S. are now digital, and the same goes for AP exams via Bluebook—both of which require a stable internet connection. No internet, no exam. Desmos doesn’t need anything more than that same connection.

I was going to say the exact same thing.  My son used demos for both the AB BC Cal exam (in addition to a TI-84 plus) and the SAT.[/quote]
Students find desmos much easier to type in the calc expression using mouse and keyboard, instead of learning the sequence of keys in TI-84.  Using the mouse allows for direct clicking on graphs to find coordinates, while the archaic TI-84 with tiny screen size requires complex menu navigation. Drawing something as simple as a parabola is at least a dozen keys where as desmos can show the graphical representation by simple cut and paste of the expression from another window, and multiple graphs can be compared in color, while conveniently viewing in full size monitor.

Were there a lot of parabolas and pretty graphs questions on the 2025 AP Calculus BC and Multivariable exams? I didn’t see much. It’s nice to have any calculation at your fingertips with zero chance of making a mistake. Not critical, but nice. Calculator FRQ 1 and 2, can be done entirely on the TI Nspire in about 5 minutes each.

Enjoy your Desmos multicolored art, I might suggest a set of crayons to go with it.[/quote]
