CFA vs. MBA

The CFAI only allows two types of calculators: HP 12c and TI BA II. They both work very differently and take some getting used to. While you may be very intelligent, a lot of preparation is required for this exam. It may "only be Level 1" but it covers a lot of information in a large number of topics.

I wish you a lot of luck over the next few weeks. You may find yourself sprinting a marathon over the next couple of weeks. Good luck!
