bring two calculators to the test!

CFA Level II
#1

I know most of you have heard this before, and im sure a lot of you did bring two calcs to your level one test.

i was trying to clean my calculator because some of the keys got sticky, and with just a little bit of cleaning spray on it, it no longer turns on. This really set in the reality that a calculator might fail during the exam and then there would be nothing you can do.

i might even bring three in june

Ok

#3

cgrady you should bring 4 calculators

#4

3 calculators, 2 backup batteries, and 1 dozen pencils

#5

probably 5 to play it safe

#6

I didnt bring one for L1 and Quant was the only thing that I got crushed…

caculators? I know the black sholes like I know Jurassic Park the movie.

And, yes, I know we wont have to calculate Black Sholes, but We could do it anyway.

Oh hell yeah!!

3 calculators is the dumbest thing I have ever read.

But good luck.

A lot of other fellow candidates bring two calculators in the exam . And they use only one . So , you can borrow it from them if you are stuck . You can even ask the invigilator for help.

I always have brought two, never know when a battery will decide to stop, to much effort goes into studying to fail due to something preventable like that.

#10

Yea? So people who bring 2 are just so helpful and willing to share huh?

and I have yet to meet ANY “invigilator” who brings extra calculators just to help candidates in case theirs fail. or do you expect the "invigilator " to fix your calculator for you?

#11

you’re right, that is why i am going to bring 4

#12

No advice is bad advice except for this.

#13

So, we can ask the invigilator for help if we get stuck? I’m going to ask the invigilator for help on pension calculations.

#14

I had a dream that I dropped my calculator as I was walking up to the exam center.

Lol looks like you need an invigilator for that butthurt
