Examinees found not following this policy may be dismissed and their tests voided for prohibited behavior.  \nExaminees may use any 4-function, scientific, or graphing calculator, if it isnot on the prohibited list and it is modified (see below), if needed. Examinees are encouraged to use a familiar calculator, but all problems may be solved without a calculator. Calculators may only be used on the mathematics test, including ACT® WorkKeys® Applied Math.  \nIMPORTANT: Sharing calculators during the test is not permitted. Accessible calculators (such as audio/“talking” or braille) are allowed if authorized in advance of testing by ACT for the ACT® test and by the test coordinator for all other products.  \nExaminees are responsible for:  \nz Bringing—and using—a permitted calculator  \nz Knowing if their calculator is permitted (for information on the calculator policy, visit [http://www.act.org/calculator-policy.html](http://www.act.org/calculator-policy.html) or call 800.498.6481 fora recorded message containing highlights from this policy)  \nz Making sure their calculator works properly and has new batteries, if battery-operated  \nz Bringing a backup calculator and/or extra batteries, if they wish, in case their primary calculator fails  \nTesting staff is responsible for:  \nz Monitoring during the test to ensure examinees are using only permitted calculators  \nz Dismissing any examinee found using a prohibited calculator during testing  \nThe following types of calculators are prohibited:  \nz Calculators with built-in or downloaded computer algebra system functionality, including the following:  \n○ Texas Instruments—all model numbers that begin with TI-89 or TI-92 (Note: The TI-Nspire [non-CAS] is permitted.)  \n*A011590270*© 2026 by ACT Education Corp.
