Effects of Calculator Use on Scores on a Test of Mathematical Reasoning.

Bridgeman, Brent; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v32 n4 p323-40 Win 1995

Half of a sample of 11,457 college-bound juniors used a calculator on Scholastic Aptitude Test mathematics questions, while half did not. Both genders and three ethnic groups benefited about equally from calculator use. Students who routinely used calculators were relatively advantaged, but effects on individual test items varied.
