Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Calculator

As expected. As other review mentioned, these buttons are a lot more stuff than the regular TI-BA II version. But, I actually like the "click" feeling that you get when you press the button all the way down - and, I feel like it really reassures me that the number was entered in (and I don't have to glance at the screen to check it).I bought it for the CFA exam. I already have the regular version, but it's nice to have two for the exam, just in case you run out of luck and your battery dies. This also has a few useful functions that the regular version doesn't have.

I received my order within 3 days, an excellent service. As far as the calculator is concerned, there is nothing I can comply about. It includes the users' guidline, which explains everything in a clear way, with illustratons and examples. A great use for any financial analyst (and others interested in financial issues) with all kinds of useful financial and statistical worksheets. I highly recommend this calculator for practitioners.

The Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Calculator is an excellent tool, especially for CFA prep. The functionality is top-notch, and it’s easy to use once you get the hang of it. The variety of financial functions is a lifesaver for exams and professional use alike.However, I was disappointed that it didn’t come with any protective case or cover for the front. Carrying it in a backpack feels risky since there’s nothing to shield the screen and buttons from damage. A case would have made it much more practical for daily transport.Overall, a fantastic calculator, but the lack of basic protection is a missed opportunity for such a professional tool.

Overall it’s good. Does the job as intended. However, mine had issues after 2 months of use. Where the times button malfunctioned and as of today it completely stopped working. Not sure if it is a battery issue where it needs to be changed but if it is the be aware of that the battery does not last long and it is a good idea to change it before taking the exam for no surprises.

The product took over a month to arrive, and after less than a year will not turn, despite being looked after well. TI customer service told me to "recharge the batteries" after I told them I had tried two replacements, despite the batteries for this model being non-rechargeable. Amazon will only accept returns within 30 days, and I'm currently trying to find out whether the warranty is valid outside of the US. If my exam board did not require this exact model I would stay far away from it at all costs. If nothing else, buy from a reputable, independent seller, who will uphold the warranty.

Really good financial calculator does what it should do. works a lot faster than a scientific calculator, things like IRR, scientific can not work out but BA II Plus Professional Calculator can, just what I m looking for

For anyone taking the CFA, this calculator is a must; otherwise, it is still extremely useful for computing a lot of advanced financial formulas - it's like a mini excel that you can carry everywhere! It comes with a detailed manual so you can discover all its functions without a hassle. I definitely recommend it - it's worth every penny!

I got a TI BAII+ Pro the day before I was to sit my CFA Level I exam and had little time to practise with it. In the exam I could not figure out how to change the default two digits of precision (rounding to cents) and ended up having to multiply my results by 1000 to answer test questions.It almost seems as if engineers at TI aimed to preserve the look and feel of early electronic calculator models like the TI-30 (first introduced in 1976) exept that the red LED displays are probably no longer in supply. For instance, the TI BAII+ "Pro" still does not know about arithmetic operator precedence (e.g. 7 + 5 * 8 = 47 and not, as the BAII will tell you, 96). I also wondered whether the keypad may have been produced back in the 1980s.In a recent university course I used a Casio fx-85ES that sells for £10 at our student union shop and works heaps better than retro designs such as the TI BAII.Casio FX 85 ES Calculator
