In my high school, a TI-83 was the only graphic calculator allowed on tests, though it was never an issue because very few people had TI-89s.
The AP calculus test is split into a calculator section and a no calculator section, and it definitely helps to have a TI-89.
In college calculus we were only allowed to use a scientific calculator.
I'm surprised that high schools are allowing students to use this sort of calculator (or for that matter, setting tests where it makes a difference what calculator you have.)
