Casio and Texas Instruments (TI) sell a wide assortment of regular calculators and graphing calculators that you can use on the SAT. So do Radio Shack, Sharp, and a few smaller manufacturers.

A few of these have stylus inputs, which you'll have to leave untouched while you're taking the SAT. Overall, however, if you have one of these basic, garden variety calculators, you'll probably be fine.

If you've already got a calculator (other than your phone) that you're comfortable with, that's great. Or, if you have a study friend whose calculator you borrow all the time, go ahead and buy the same one.

At a minimum, your calculator should be able to crunch exponents and square roots. Calculating sines, cosines, and tangents plus their inverses also wouldn't hurt. Chances are, if your calculator can do these things, it's got enough functionality to get you through the SAT reasonably well.
