Great article! It’s good that you included some of the standardized exams the Nspire is allowed on. I’ve seen a number of reviews for calculators where they don’t mention them. If a student bought a calculator and is unable to use it on an exam then they will have to spend even more money. I’ve actually written a number of posts on my blog about that. Feel free to take a look!
