Calculators can be used on all or some parts of the AP Exams listed here (and on no others).

• Students should check the list of approved graphing calculators; bring only approved models.
• Students can bring up to two calculators. They should bring calculators they are familiar with that are in good working order. Calculators may not be shared.
• Calculator memories do not need to be cleared before or after the exam.

*Graphing calculators with the expected built-in capabilities for AP Calculus are indicated with an asterisk. See the AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC Course and Exam Description for details. However, students may bring any calculator on the list to the exam; any model within each series is acceptable. Only approved graphing calculators from the list are permitted for AP Calculus Exams.

This list will be updated as necessary to include new approved calculators. Check this list periodically, and prior to the administration of the exams, to ensure that students have the most up-to-date information.

This list only includes approved graphing calculators. There is not an approved list of scientific (nongraphing) calculators.

Proctors are required to check calculators before the exam. Therefore, it is important for each student to have an approved calculator. Calculators may not be shared, and communication between calculators is prohibited during the exam.

Students must not use calculator memories to take test materials out of the room. Students who attempt to remove test materials from the room by any method will have their exam scores canceled.

Unacceptable Calculators

Students are not allowed to use any of the following:

• Cell phones, smartphones, smartwatches and other wearable technology, portable/handheld computers, tablets, laptops, electronic writing pads, pocket organizers
• Models with QWERTY (i.e., typewriter) keypads as part of hardware or software (e.g., TI92 Plus, Voyage 200)
• Models with pen-input/stylus capability (e.g., Palm, PDAs, Casio ClassPad)
• Models with wireless or Bluetooth capability
• Models that require an electrical outlet, “talk” or make noise, or have a paper tape
• Models that can access the Internet
• Models that have cell phone capability or audio/video recording capability
• Models that have a digital audio/video player
• Models that have a camera or scanning capability
• Some models with touch-screen capability (e.g., Casio ClassPad)
• Hardware peripherals such as a stylus, keyboard, or wireless adapter with an approved calculator
• 
  

School-supplied backup calculators

Proctors should have a supply of extra AP-approved calculators on exam day. You should be able to provide a substitute calculator when:

• A student does not have a calculator
• A student arrives with an unacceptable calculator
• A calculator malfunctions during the administration
  

Additionally, students may bring up to two calculators to exams, but they cannot share them.
