What's up everybody? My AP Environmental Science exam is coming up, and I wanted to know if I can use a calculator for it. If yes, which ones are allowed? Thanks!
Hey there! Good question. On the AP Environmental Science (APES) exam, you are indeed allowed to use a calculator during both the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the exam. The test permits four-function, scientific, or graphing calculators, but it's important to note that you don't necessarily need a complicated calculator to tackle the problems on the exam.
That being said, if you're already comfortable using a scientific or graphing calculator, feel free to use it, as familiarity with your device is key, especially during an exam. Some popular options include the TI-83 and TI-84 series from Texas Instruments, and the Casio fx-9750GII.
Before you take the exam, double-check the College Board website or consult with your APES teacher to ensure your preferred calculator is approved for use during the test. Additionally, make sure to practice using it in class or during study sessions so you're proficient with its functions come exam day.
Good luck on your APES exam!
