The TI-84 Plus is the most widely used calculator on the ACT and the best version is the TI-84 Plus CE. Click the button below to see it on Amazon. One of the most common students ask before taking the ACT is, “Can I use my calculator on the test?” The answer is yes… but be careful. You do have to be careful to stick with the ACT’s list of approved calculators.

UPDATE: Since this post, I’ve done full Kaplan ACT & SAT Prep review. Kaplan has announced they are discounting their “Classroom Anywhere” classes for ACT and SAT prep in September and October.
