Message Name: Difference in Calculators allowed in CFA exam?
Date Posted: 07/19/2005
Message: HP 12C and TI BA II Plus are the only allowed models at CFA. Many highly suggest the later - TI - model. They argue that HP 12C employs Polish (reverse punch sequence - a, b, + for a+b) calculation method, whereas TI model allows more convenient 'regular' key punch ( a, +, b for a+b) sequence. Obviously, TI model represent big advantage, then why many schools suggest HP 12C?? Any downside to TI model?
