HP 12C vs TI BA

[marty35]

Hello,
I used the HP 12C for CFA L1, and it served me well. However, I’ve heard that the TI BA has more functions, is easier to use, and is faster (My HP 12C is over 20 years old though). Would you recommend changing to the TI BA for CFA L2?
Thanks

Apologies if this has already been asked btw. I’m sure that this debate has been raging on for years.

Without a doubt, the TI BA 2 plus is the way to go.

If you’re new to the TI BA this is a great little tutorial produced by Quartic that I wish I watched prior to taking level 1.

DEFINATELY TI BA2 PLUS
I’ve used HP for a short time… and found that TI to be better.. I’m glad I made the switch…
And its wont’ be too hard to pick up… so give it a try… worst case, you have a backup calculator that you can use in case one fails on the exam.

I couldn’t imagine using a calc without RPN. What does the TI BA 2 Plus do that the HP 12 C Platium doesn’t? Besides Covariance
