Just for the record, in high school I programmed my TI-85 to read "memory cleared" when the user entered the appropriate command, but not actually clear the memory.

But don't worry wolf, it's like 9th said: the questions nowadays are such that the calculator is no more than a mundane convenience--if you really need it, you won't be scoring well anyway.

It was a team effort with several friends. Honestly, we were such nerds we weren't even doing it to cheat, it was born out of pure laziness. I absolutely hated solving the quadratic equation, and I got tired of having to re-program it back in every time I took a test.
