calculator app - kit
I know it seems convenient to have a calculator app instead of a calculator, but I'm a recent grad and we were not permitted to use apps on our phones/laptops in math classes on tests. A graphing calculator can't text or IM your roommate who is an engineering major; smartphones/laptops can. In high school, and one of my college courses we even had to erase the apps and memory of the calculator in class before each test and show the teacher the result screen that said it had been wiped.
like-wise, you can't use your smartphone as a calculator for the SAT. So, while there may be some schools that permit it, I wouldn't consider it the norm for all students.
