SAT allows examinees to bring a calculator. Please note that bluebook has an embedded calculator available for all testers; however, examinees may bring an acceptable calculator. Please see the list of acceptable calculators below.

The Desmos calculator embedded in the Bluebook testing app: Bluebook contains an embedded Desmos calculator with two options—graphing or scientific. Students can toggle between the two. It’s a powerful tool that includes features similar to handheld calculators. If you’re familiar with how to use these calculator options, the embedded version is a good choice.

Graphing calculators that do not include CAS features: This type of calculator includes plotting and graphing windows, data entry and storage windows, data analysis functions, trig functions, and programming options.

Scientific calculators: This type of calculator includes many functions helpful for solving problems in science, statistics, and math. Common features include built-in memory to store interim calculations, statistical functions, pi, trig functions, and scientific notation.

4-function basic calculators (not recommended): This type of calculator includes 4 functions: add, subtract, multiply, and divide; some also include percentages and square roots. This type of calculator is not recommended as they typically do not follow order of operations.
