You are not allowed to use any of the following items as a calculator:

• Models that have typewriter-like keypad, pen-input, or stylus
• Models that use electrical outlets, make noise, or have a paper tape
• Calculator function on a mobile phone
• In addition, the use of hardware peripherals such as a stylus with an approved calculator is not permitted. Some models with touch-screen capability are not permitted (e.g., Casio ClassPad). Check the list of acceptable calculators for models that are permitted.

***If you’re taking a Subject Test in Mathematics, bring an approved calculator on test day. Test centers will not provide one.

The only Subjects Tests for which calculators are allowed are Mathematics Level 1 and Mathematics Level 2. You must put it away when not taking a mathematics test. A scientific or graphing calculator is necessary for these tests. We recommend using a graphing calculator rather than a scientific calculator.
