Customer Ratings & Reviews

My old Texas Instrument calculator lasted until my 4 years cousin throw it in a bucket full of water. When we found it won,t turn on. Lasted for more than 5 years without a battery change. Great display and small size makes it easy to carry around. Went to the store to buy a replacement. Love Texas instrument brand.

The TI-30XIIS is a robust, entry-level scientific calculator from Texas Instruments that combines affordability with a range of features, including a two-line display, dual power sources (battery and solar), and broad exam acceptance. The "TI" stands for Texas Instruments, "30X" denotes the model number, "II" signifies the two-line display, and "S" represents both solar and battery power options. Texas Instruments has done an excellent job ensuring that this calculator, despite being entry-level, does not skimp on quality or features. Pros: Affordability: I purchased this calculator for my middle school child. Although it was on sale at a different retailer, I was able to get a price match at Best Buy. Two-Line Display: The TI-30X IIS stands out with its two-line display, which allows you to view previous computations without having to redo them. This feature is especially useful for complex calculations, as it lets you scroll through expressions without losing track. Wide Range of Features: Suitable for general math, pre-algebra, algebra 1 and 2, statistics, general science, and geometry, this calculator offers functions like fractions, conversions, basic scientific and trigonometric functions, 1 and 2-variable statistics, and editing options like cut and paste. Power Options: The calculator can be powered by either solar energy or batteries, making it virtually maintenance-free with its solar panel. Exam Acceptance: The TI-30XIIS is approved for use on SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Cons: Nothing significant. Final Verdict: This calculator is an excellent choice for an entry-level model. While it may not have the advanced capabilities of higher-end calculators, it performs its intended functions well. With its dual power sources, it’s likely to remain functional for many years. I am very satisfied with this purchase and understand why it is recommended by middle school teachers.

I love this calculator, it is the second one that i have bought... only because first one was lost. I would be lost without it. I had a different kind years ago but did not like it. I heard good things about the Texas Instrument Scientific Calculator and all my math teachers said this one is the best to use, that is why I bought it not just once but twice.

I had to buy this cuz I returned to school. Just like back in high school remembered how to use after a few minutes.

I love this calculator! Very easy, simple, and straight to the point. If you take college algebra, need to compute finances, etc, I encourage you to invest in this!

Works great for my Stats class and at a reasonable price.

Good and easy to use scientific calculator for school or home.

I needed a replacement for my 40+ year old scientific calculator. The TI-30X IIS has a nice touch and not too small. Using solar power with a battery backup is a good design. It switches easily between scientific and engineering, and floating to fractional notations. Basic trig and most popular functions are activated in one step. The internal value of pi provides decent accuracy. One option not included in this Calculator is the ability to store and use personal equations. For the price I would class this calculator as a good value.

This is the second of these I've owned, the previous one kicked the bucket after 10+ years of use. Good calculator, buttons are a bit finicky at times but for the price, its not bad.

Had an older version of this in high school and used this more than my graphing calculator. Used this to double-check answers. A great calculator for a middle schooler taking high school math courses. It can do all the necessary calculations needed for up to PreCalc. This is a great value for the functions included without having to buy a graphing calculator.

This calculator is a lifesaver! It’s easy to navigate, and the buttons are sturdy. It works perfectly for algebra, geometry, and physics. Affordable and worth every penny

A good value TI Calculator for pre-algebra and geometry classes. Easy affordable compared to the high price calculators they forced us to purchase in the old days. It's a very basic design so hopefully it holds up in a 7th graders backpack.

Got this caculator last minute for my act test. Not every caculator is permitted for the test, so I was a bit scared they wouldn’t allow it, but it turned out pretty well. For all the high schoolers out there about to take the sat, act, or whatever this is the perfect caculator to do so.

This TI scientific calculator works great. It helped with my taxes this year. The buttons are big enough. The display is easy to read. The calculator lays flat and does not wobble.

Works great. Love solar charging. A classrom set would be awesome.

It's a very good item. And very convenient when it got delivered.

Works very well for freshman algebra. My son was getting a c- with a Casio calculator. I bought him this Texas Instruments calculator and well he’s still getting a c- but he seems a lot happier with the calculator. I hope they teach him what all the buttons do by the end of the semester. If you buy this calculator you are making a very budget conscious decision.

This is one of the best calculators I’ve used & it’s lightweight & fits in the palm of my hand

This is an excellent piece of tool with remarkable and best quality finishes. Easy to understand and use, best quality ever. Buttons are well spaced. Highly recommended for all STEM students and engineers alike.

Nothing particularly elegant about this calculator, but it does what you need it to do. Sufficient for just about every student's needs. Durable. Affordable. I kept this as a backup for my kids to use, but went ahead and bought a different model for one reason only - my daughter really wanted to something that displays fractions better. This calculator handles fractions just fine, but it cannot display them as fractions. That was the ONLY thing we didn't like about this calculator, thus the loss of 1 star. Otherwise it is a solid value.
