Title: TI-Nspire CX CAS or Classpad 400
Post by: peter.g15 on November 19, 2017, 10:05:21 pm

Hi guys,
Just wondering for methods, would the switch from classpad fx-cp400 to the TI-Nspire CX CAS be worth it? I've heard a lot of good things about the TI (e.g. doesn't crash, quick etc). I've already finished methods 1/2 and was wondering if anyone has experience from switching over, or heard things etc. I'm not worried about learning how to use the TI since it's not in the middle of the year.

Cheers :)

The Ti is a better calculator but people have gotten 50s in Spesh using the Casio. In my experience, my school barely taught how to use the calculator so if your mileage is the same, then using the Tinspire and relying on textbook guides etc. is certainly not a bad choice.
