Personal calculators are not allowed during the Accuplacer because information can be stored and referenced to when completing the test. However, during the math portion of the test, a calculator is provided by the computer to assist you with completing selected problems.
Bringing paper from your own home to record information or answers prior to and about the test is considered cheating. Paper will typically be provided by the person who is administering the test.
The United States College Board reports that "anyone who gives or receives help during the test, or uses notes, books, or calculators of any kind may not be allowed to continue the test." The admissions department at the University of Houston-Victoria clarifies this regulation and states that "cell phones and other electronic communication devices are not permitted in the testing room." The person administering the Accuplacer may ask you to turn off your cell phone or leave it outside the testing center.
