> On the SAT you can use programs and notes

That is definitely a new thing. I wasn't allowed to use a calculator at all when I took the test 4 years ago.

You may well be right--the test was given a top-to-bottom redesign in 2016, so you would have been just before that. Nowadays there is a calc active and calc inactive section, whereas the current ACT has one math section, all calc active.
