The Computer Algebra System is the "secret sauce" of the TI-Nspire CX II CAS. For a student, this feature acts as a tireless tutor. It can factor polynomials, solve equations for variables, compute derivatives and integrals, and simplify complex trigonometric identities.

The non-CAS TI CX II is permitted on the ACT and SAT. The TI CX II CAS is typically not allowed on the ACT or SAT because the CAS can solve problems symbolically. However, it is allowed on the AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and IB exams (check your specific test rules).
