Are you looking for a graphing calculator but not sure which one to buy. In addition to knowing which standardized tests you can use them on you also want to know what math classes you can use them in. Of course you can use them in any math class, but certain models are recommended more for certain levels, whether it be trigonometry or college algebra.
Texas Instruments provides both of these in a handy one page table:

HP also provides some information. Unfortunately they only list approved courses but not recommended classes:

The PDF from HP is over a year old but still relevant. However, you should always consult the calculator policies of the specific exams you are taking and of course ask your math / science teachers about their own graphing calculator policies and whether they recommend or require (or prohibit) specific models.
