Important Update: SAT Calculator Programs & Compliance (December 2025)

What Changed?

College Board's calculator policy explicitly prohibits: "Calculators with apps, menus, or programs that perform symbolic algebra manipulation (e.g., solving algebra equations symbolically)."

Programs that solve equations - like quadratic solvers, system solvers, and algebra manipulators - fall under this prohibition.

Our Updated Position

As educators committed to student success and ethical test preparation, we want to be completely transparent:

• Our SATMATH program contains equation solvers
• It is NOT permitted on the official SAT exam
• It IS an excellent tool for SAT practice, homework, and learning

Why We're Being Transparent

Unlike other calculator program sellers who continue to market solver programs as "test-day legal," we believe in honest guidance. Your test score is too important to risk on unclear compliance.

We've updated all our product pages, videos, and marketing to clearly state this program is for practice only.

What This Means for Students

✅ For Practice & Learning:

• Use solver programs for homework
• Practice with them on SAT prep tests
• Build understanding and speed
• Check your work while studying

🚫 For Test Day:

• Rely on the built-in Desmos calculator
• Use your calculator's native functions only
• Memorize key formulas
• Trust your preparation

Our Commitment Going Forward

We're committed to staying current with College Board policies and providing accurate guidance. If you have questions about what's allowed, we recommend:

1. Reviewing our SAT Calculator Rules page
2. Checking College Board's official policy
3. Consulting with your school's test coordinator
