New Feature for TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition

Press-to-Test feature in OS 2.40

All new TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition calculators with OS 2.40 or higher have a special key sequence students and teachers can use to prepare a student calculator for exams where flash applications, programs and other files not allowed. This feature is called Press-To-Test and it is similar to the calculator reset option for deleting all files from the calculator before an exam. The main difference is the Press-To-Test temporarily disables flash applications and programs while students are taking an exam, rather than deleting them. After the exam, applications and programs can be restored easily for classroom use.
