    At the same time, there’s no reason why they couldn’t upgrade to something else. You can do everything a graph calculator does on your cellphone using websites…

      You say that, but its standardized. It needs to be exactly the same if only to keep everyone on a level playing field

        What? Should we standardize computers so everyone has the same processing power?

          For something like the SAT, yeah, youd want everyone on as level a playing field as possible

            Why allow calculators at all then? People who are better at using it have an advantage, everyone should only use pen and paper for the SAT, that’s a level playing field.

              But people better at writing have an advantage, we should only use language, that’s a level playing field. /s
