The guidelines for many international, national, and state assessments allow or require students to use
TI-Nspire™ handhelds when taking an exam. Press‑to‑Test enables you to quickly prepare student handhelds for exams where use of applications, programs, and other files is restricted. When a handheld is in Press-to-Test mode, students cannot access pre-existing folders, documents, and Scratchpad data. Students using the TI‑Nspire™ CX-C handhelds cannot access the Chinese-English dictionary.
Press-to-Test temporarily disables documents and some features of handheld applications. After the exam, these documents and features can be easily restored for classroom use.
The Press-to-Test feature is available on the following TI‑Nspire™ handhelds:
| • | TI‑Nspire™ and TI‑Nspire™ CAS handhelds with OS version 1.3 or higher. |
| • | TI-Nspire™ CX and TI-Nspire™ CX CAS handhelds with OS version 3.0 or higher. |
| • | TI‑Nspire™ CX-C and TI‑Nspire™ CX-C CAS handhelds with OS version 3.1 or higher. |
| • | TI‑Nspire™ CM-C and TI‑Nspire™ CM-C CAS handhelds with OS version 3.1 or higher. |
Press-to-Test is also available on the TI-84 and when using a TI‑Nspire™ handheld in TI-84 mode.
Note: Some states only permit the use of the TI-Nspire™ in TI-84 mode. To find out if your state allows TI‑Nspire™ technology, see the State/Province Information website at:
