Act Calculator Programs Download
Lorin Mandaloniz
As a full time, professional Math Instructor (both Test Prep and Academic) I've learned that the #1 way for students to improve their ACT math score is to learn how to effectively leverage their calculator's built-in capabilities as well as getting access to (and learning how to use) calculator programs to help simplify their life!
After developing over 25 programs for my personal tutoring clients, I realized that I wanted to offer other students a FREE resource that would help them as well! So, I came up with an "Essentials" list of the 10 most commonly used programs that I've developed so far. I've also included information on two sub-sections of problem types that don't require programs, but can be solved by leveraging a graphing calculator!
- 13 Free Videos (in a YouTube Playlist) to help you understand how to Download and Install the programs, as well as one video for each program itself, and two videos to help you learn how to deal with problems using Imaginary Numbers as well as General Calculator Features.
This is my small way to try and help put resources into the hands of students who otherwise couldn't afford them. This is a passion project of mine and I have three simple requests to anyone who uses these programs (students and tutors alike):
1.) Please don't take credit for developing these programs (I have about 70+ hours of hard work tied up in learning the coding language and troubleshooting these programs, please don't take credit for that).
System of equation solvers and quadratic equation solvers can be helpful. I use these programs on my TI-84CE frequently in math class. Just watched a youtube video by a sat tutor that recommended them to save time. She said they were banned in the ACT but have not yet been banned on the SAT. Just wanted to make sure - =jxNuBiCeSGk
Are there any rules that allowed mathematics-related programs must follow?
A: Programs must be written in the language of the calculator. Programs written in a different language, compiled, and loaded onto the calculator are not allowed. In this way, the programs can be examined on the calculator and will use calculator functions. Programs must not be lengthy. The limit is 25 logical lines of code. Programs cannot call another program. Techniques such as compressing code into a data statement are not allowed as a way of getting around this limit. Programs are allowed to change the value of system variables so that results may, for example, be graphed through the normal calculator graphing interface.

ERAS application fees are based on the number of programs applied to per specialty. The MyERAS portal automatically calculates your fees, and you can pay online using Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.
The ERAS program does not offer refunds for any reason. Refunds will not be given for applications sent to nonparticipating programs.
Although we make every effort to ensure that our data is up-to-date, programs may not always communicate to the ERAS system their intention to accept applications; or a program's status may change. Therefore, it is your responsibility to confirm that you meet all eligibility requirements and program deadlines before applying by contacting programs directly.
The ERAS system's primary role is to deliver your application and supporting documents to designated programs. This is no different than placing a stamp on an envelope and requesting USPS deliver the packet to a destination. Once you apply to a program and submit payment through the MyERAS portal, service has been rendered and your application has been delivered.
A calculator program for the AP Calc BC test is designed to help students efficiently solve complex problems and save time during the exam. It can also serve as a study aid for practicing and mastering certain concepts.
Some useful calculator programs for the AP Calc BC test include programs for graphing, derivatives, integrals, and solving equations. There are also programs specifically designed for the AP Calc BC test that cover a variety of topics.
There are several websites and online forums where students share and exchange calculator programs for the AP Calc BC test. You can also create your own program or ask your teacher for recommendations.
No, calculator programs alone are not enough to guarantee success on the AP Calc BC test. It is important to also have a thorough understanding of the concepts and to practice solving problems without the aid of a calculator. Calculator programs should be used as a supplement, not a replacement, for studying and preparing for the exam.
EBSA is providing this web-based calculator and payment system, making participating in the Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program (DFVCP) easy, quick, and error-free. The online DFVCP penalty calculator helps you accurately calculate the payment needed to participate in the DFVCP. You may then conveniently make the payment electronically over the internet.
You are not required to use the online calculator or make payments electronically to participate in the DFVCP. However, by using these options, you will avoid making errors that would unnecessarily delay your participation in the program.
After you use the calculator to determine the amount owed to participate in the program, you have the option of paying the penalty online. Should you choose to pay the penalty online, select the "Pay Online" button and follow the instructions.
The U.S. Department of Labor is not responsible for any loss of calculations and data. The Department does not monitor or save data you enter online into the DFVCP calculator until the penalty is paid using the online payment function. You cannot save calculations online. You may save your results by printing a copy or copying/pasting a copy into a text document on your computer before terminating your session. For more information on the collection, use and disclosure of personally-identifying information, see the Department's Privacy and Security Statement.
The calculator will determine the number of days late and the penalty for each filing. The total penalty for all the filings entered on the calculator will be displayed below the chart. This penalty is only for the filings entered on the calculator.
Often questions arise about programs that can be added to calculators to improve their functionality or ease of use. Sometimes these programs are purchased software packages, while other times they are the creation of a teacher or student with programming skills. The conscientious teacher often asks, "Is a program like this allowed on the AP Exam?" This article seeks to clarify these questions.
For the exam, you're not allowed to access any information in your graphing calculators or elsewhere if it's not directly related to upgrading the statistical functionality of older graphing calculators to make them comparable to statistical features found on newer models. The only acceptable upgrades are those that improve the computational functionalities and/or graphical functionalities for data you key into the calculator while taking the examination. Unacceptable enhancements include, but aren't limited to, keying or scanning text or response templates into the calculator.
This policy is the key to determining which type of programs are allowed. A number of commonly used programs clearly fit in this category. The TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus now come preloaded with a flash-app program entitled Catalog Help. This program guides the user with prompts for the various variables you enter. For example, the normalcdf command requires you enter first the lowerbound, then the upperbound, then, optionally, µ and Ã. The Catalog Help program simply reminds you of the order that these variables are entered. Not requiring students to remember the order of these variables is one of the most frequently requested improvements that teachers have for the ubiquitous 83 Plus/84 Plus family of calculators. A version of Catalog Help has been written for TI-83 Plus models that do not accept flash apps, a nice legal addition for a student with an older calculator. The TI-89 is an approved calculator with a menu-driven screen that does not require students to remember the variable order. Thus the 89's functionality provides a good benchmark for the kind of improvements that would be legal. Another specific upgrade that teachers could use is a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. The 89 includes such a feature, as does the latest operating system for the 84 Plus, so a program that performs that test would be legal.
For those using the TI-86, Texas Instruments has written an add-on program that gives it full statistics capabilities. This program simply gives it the same functions as the 83, 83 Plus, 84 Plus, and 89. Some teachers have written programs for the 86 that add other missing features: a normal probability plot, a residual list generator, a Catalog Help-like program, and so on. These programs are allowable.
A feature that is not included on any legal calculator is any reminder of the conditions required to perform a hypothesis test or confidence interval. Students struggle with memorizing these conditions. Some programs warn students if the conditions have been violated (i.e., "Warning! Expecteds are less than 5!"). As no allowable calculator offers such warnings, a program that does this would not be allowed. I have seen some teacher-made programs that ask students a series of questions to check the conditions before they run the test or interval. These also would not be allowed.
