This red colored Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS was manufactured exclusively for the State of Ohio.
What is the red TI-30XIISR? Texas Instruments has produced a red TI-30X IIS specifically for the
State of Ohio to use for their Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT). The schools refer to it as the TI-30XIISR. There is also a red unit available for Ohio schools that does not have the OGT logo. These are available through Copco, an instructional product dealer. © Texas Instruments, 2009 |
The Ohio Department of Education released in October 2008 newsletter "The Ides of ODE" a nice (high-lighted in blue) statement:
New OGT Calculators
The fall administration of the Ohio Graduation Test will begin on October 27, 2008. By now all school districts should have received their fall shipment of the new OGT Calculators. The new TI-30XIISR is the only calculator to be used on the OGT. The unique red color is to assist proctors in identifying the approved calculator. The new calculators are believed to be more durable than their predecessor. © Ohio Department of Education, 2008 |
For sure did we research the “predecessor of the new OGT calculator” and found the Senario Model SC-121, a rebranded Karce KC-121.
Don't miss the TI-30X IIS released for the
Back-to-School 2020 campaign in its
beautiful color dubbed "Radical Red".
