Hey Everyone!
Does anybody know how many of all the questions of the L1 Examination needs the use of a Calculator?

No, but maybe you can get a feeling for it if you consider how large a proportion of each the Study Session's basic questions (at AnalystNotes) need a calculator, and then multiply that weight with the weight of the subject on the actual exam. Are you thinking about taking the exam without a calculator? If you would by any chance find it difficult to buy a calculator now, there are simulation software available of the HP12C that you may download on the Internet and install on a disketter or similar, and use while you are studying, and then borrow someone's calculator on the actual exam. Search for +HP12C +simulator or +emulator.

I used it for about 5-10% of the questions. Most of the question, you can find the answer without a calculator just by looking at the input and the multiple choice question.

But..., you need a calculator for the NPV questions!

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
