The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program cosponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).
As with the SAT exam, the College Board does not provide a list of specific calculators models that are approved for usage. According to their site any graphing calculator, scientific calculator, or four-function calculator is approved* for usage provided that it:
- is a standalone device (e.g., not part of a cell phone or PDA)
- is not a stylus-driven device
- does not utilize a writing pad
- does not have a QWERTY (typewriter-like) keypad
- does not have printing capabilities.
