It seems like adding even minimal python support would allow fairly easy development of apps that could be used for cheating.

I don't know if anything's changed, maybe schools are laxer than mine was, but they made me wipe my memory before taking standardized tests.

It was trivial to write a program that mimicked the wipe-memory screen with assembly (without assembly you could try to get away from it, but there were subtle differences in the menu UI with a TI basic menu and the system menus)

Again, maybe my school was different, but you gave it to the teacher and they'd wipe it and give it back.
