Can I combine justCalculations with other study material I already have?

Yes! justCalculations is designed to be a layer on top of whatever study stack you have at the moment. We think problem solving also helps reasoning so complex calculations are a great way to study.

Is there an app?

No, the idea here is to look at a large screen like on test day and translate a complex problem to a piece of paper. You want to use justCalculations to get ready for test day circumstances.

Wait, you only do calculation problems?

Yes. It's in the name. We just think we do them better.

So this is an e-book?

Yes, there is a main practice question book and a blend book. The main book goes through practice calculations, in order, for each exam.

The Blend book is a topic focus that combines the concepts and calculations of two topics in a more of a guided study of those topics. Both books have a slightly different focus for different types of learning.

Does justCalculations cover all exam topics?

justCalculations focuses specifically on calculation learning objectives and calculator proficiency, which are essential skills for success in CFA® and FRM® exams. Less so for the actuary exams.

This is designed to be used alongside other study materials that cover the full range of exam topics but this is a part of exam prep candidates often overlook: pencil-to-paper calculations.

How does justCalculations differ from other exam prep materials?

justCalculations emphasizes the practical application of financial concepts and calculator techniques, providing a hands-on approach that is often lacking in other study materials. How can you use your scratch paper as real estate on test day? How to map out the most complex of problems? How to stay neat and focused under time pressure.


The main product includes detailed keystroke guides for both approved calculators on some of the most complex problems, ensuring students have calculator help on day one.

You seriously only do the calculations?

Yes, there are lots of general test prep out there. We do something very specific and very different. But you will know every math problem down cold!
