This calculator was recommended for use on the FM/L actuarial exam my son is taking in August 2009. He is a Math/Economics major and has a more expensive TI scientific calculator which was not allowed for this exam.

The product was brand new like the seller said. It's great--- just as if I'd gone out and bought it at the store! :) Very pleased. Thanks!
 The keyboard sucks May 31, 2009

Having used for a month. Have to push a key very hard in order to enter something. Otherwise, it will just skip. This becomes really annoying when you need to type in something fast, for example, in an exam!
 Needlessly complicated, but suitable for Intro to Finance May 7, 2009

I purchased the BA II Plus Financial calculator on the recommendation of my Finance professor. Certainly the calculator is specially geared toward financial calculations (Time Value of Money, Interest, etc.) and will save some students a great deal of time. But my gripe with the BA II Plus is in its complexity. It is almost impossible for a novice to pick up the most beneficial uses of the calculator without sifting through a thick manual. It is not user friendly in the least, nor is it a good calculator for non-Finance courses. In statistics, for example, one would run into a great deal of trouble with the automatic rounding function of the BA II Plus. This can be turned off, but I could not do it without the assistance of someone from Texas Instruments. Add to that, I am still unable to use mathematical parenthesis on the BA II plus, or fractions, so often I must revert back to another scientific calculator in order to more easily perform those functions.
Within its narrow range of finance problems, the calculator does an fair job. But outside the subject, students will end up needing a more versatile machine than the BA II plus.
