TI-nspire Press-to-Test
« on: November 19, 2011, 01:38:46 am »
Hi everyone,
I go to an IB School, Queensland Academy for Health Sciences, Gold Coast, Australia.
As part of the official IB Business SL Anticipated Exams we had to sit on 17-18 Novemeber we had to put our TI-nspire into Press-to-Test. Prior to this I hadn't really known about PtT, just heard of it and it was quite interesting as I wouldn't be able to access my documents (for like cheating) during the exam. And as these were real exams being sent off around the world, strict regulations like these had to be enforced. After the exam we got a piece of paper stating how to exit PtT mode. It recommended that using another TI-nspire connected to my PtT nspire was the best way. But it's the weekend and I'd have to ask someone else to connect my nspire to. So I had to search myself a way to exit PtT using TI-nspire Computer Link found here: http://bit.ly/qJJZ5Z

Wonder if anyone else has used PtT or something?

I never did, since the TI-Nspire did not exist when I last went to hi school (2003) but I doubt it's used here anyway, since most people got a TI-83 Plus or TI-89T. I thought PTT was a North-American-only thing, though?


Also what do you do if you have no other Nspire to connect to to get out of Ptt?

Well PtT seems to exist on all nspires i think.
and anyway I managed to get it to exit PtT by using TI-nspire Computer Link software to transfer a document that exits PtT. Instructions can be found here: http://bit.ly/qJJZ5Z
 Kinda like transferring documents to run ndless.

I use Press To Test for all my tests at my advanced high school.  My regular high school does not know about it.  The way that we get out of it is by putting it in PTT the night before, and putting notes in :P

Good one. However these were real final exams for me, as I am anticipating Business, which means you finish the subject halfway through your IB Diploma Course. So we had no opportunity as we also had to show our calcs to the teachers.
