Using Press-to-Test
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 in TI-84 Plus Mode when using a TI-Nspire™ handheld
that lets you switch between the TI-Nspire™ keypad and a TI-84Plus keypad. For
details, see Press-to-Test for TI-84 Plus Mode.
Note: Some states only permit the use of the TI-Nspire™ in TI-84 mode. To find out if
