I also took the PSAT at school today, and Marc's analysis
is correct. The math section is extemely easy. There is _NO_
trigonometry on it. I also had a crapload of math programs on my 86
and ended up using none of them. I did not have to use my
function grapher. Without giving away too much, I can say that the
TABLE editor comes in handy, and the ability to program in TI-BASIC
is a very definite plus (faster equality checking, sequence generation,
etc.)
As a side note, the Verbal and Writing sections are extremely easy too.
Good luck to all taking the test Saturday!
