Press-to-Test is an exam-control feature on physical calculators. For our website, the important goal is to explain the concept clearly while avoiding claims that an online calculator is approved for any exam.
Original documentation note: This page is written for our independent online calculator site. It follows the learning topics users expect from a TI-84-style calculator guide, but the wording and examples are original.
What Press-to-Test means
On physical calculators, test mode can restrict certain files, apps or features during a test. It is controlled by school or exam rules, not by a general website.
What our site should say
Our online calculator is for learning, homework practice and general study. It should not claim exam approval. Users must follow their teacher, school, testing center or exam board instructions.
