Which one is better? I believe HP12C has more comprehensive features but is not easy to use? Whereas Texas Instrument BAII is easy to use but lacks comprehensive features. Which one would you opt for given CFA exams are time pressured. |

Choose the one that you like the best yourself, the one that you yourself think you would find most convenient. The HP12C uses reversed polish notation if I'm not mistaken, on the HP12C platinum it is optional, which is to say you can switch to "ordinary" notation. Example: On an ordinary calculator you press 1 + 2 = ... and the caculator gives the answer, 3. On the HP12C it is 1 2 + ... and the calculator gives the answer, 3. |

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
