Can I use a calculator during the SAT exam?

Yes, you are allowed to use a calculator during the SAT exam. However, there are certain restrictions and guidelines that must be followed. Only specific models of calculators are permitted, as listed on the College Board website. You should ensure that your calculator complies with the requirements. Calculators with internet access, QWERTY keyboards, or stylus pens are not allowed. The calculator can be used for the Math section of the exam, but not for the Reading or Writing sections. It is important to note that even though calculators are allowed, not all questions on the Math section require their use. Some questions may require mental math or analysis without the aid of a calculator. Familiarizing yourself with the calculator policy is essential to avoid any issues during the SAT exam.
