To me what would sound acceptable, is that before the test was distributed, or opened up, the calculator was reset by the proctor.
Since I can’t provide a link, why don’t you call/e-mail the SAT II place, and ask them?
And it’s really no big deal that they erased it, is it? It put you at the same level playing field as everyone else.
College Board’s official policy on calculators doesn’t say anything about clearing them. You could officially protests, I think, but they maintain that all of the problems can be solved without a calculator, so anything extra that would have been cleared when they cleared the memory would be superfluous and wouldn’t affect your score…
For future reference: Archive the things on your calculator! That way a simple 2nd-memory-7-1-2 (how my TI-83 Plus is cleared of memory, says “RAM cleared”) won’t erase it. It depends on what calculator you have, but if you hit the program button on mine, the programs with asterisks next to them are archived, and the ones without aren’t. To archive things, hit the second button, then the plus sign, 2, then you can go through and archive things so that they won’t be erased if someone comes along and clears it. I think most of the apps are archived automatically, though… what did you actually lose when they erased the memory?
Hope this helps!
