What calculator should I bring?
To be honest, you don't even have to bring a calculator because the built-in graphics calculator, desmos is so powerful that if you want to use it for entire test, you can. That said, you will probably want to bring a back-up calculator for minor calculations.
The College Board allows a wide variety of calculators, but we recommend that you bring a calculator you are comfortable using, along a backup calculator and batteries, just in case something goes wrong with your main device. Or don't. Because you have desmos.
