Free CFA Calculator Tutorial

Overview

This short tutorial is focused on one specific tool: the Texas Instruments BA II Plus calculator, as used in the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exams.

What You'll Learn

The tutorial walks through how the calculator works and how its different functions operate, aimed specifically at the calculations candidates need to perform during CFA study and testing.

Who It's For

Anyone currently studying for the CFA program, or new to it and unfamiliar with the BA II Plus, will benefit from a focused walkthrough rather than having to piece together calculator instructions from a manual.

Because CFA exams are timed and calculation-heavy, knowing the calculator well before exam day removes one source of friction. This tutorial treats that as the entire goal, rather than trying to also teach the underlying finance concepts.
