Does anyone know if the actual calculations for ratios, NPV, etc. are needed on DSST Principles of Finance, or just an understanding of the process & concept. Trying to determine if I need to memorize all calculations and don't want to be reliant on my BAII plus because I'm not sure if the testing proctor will allow it.
Thanks in advance, I know this test is a beast!

If you want an easier substitute, Penn Foster Financial Management is $237 and an easy A for most people who take it. Should take no more than a few hours to complete, and an unproctored final that you submit online.

UPDATE - I was able to use my BAII Plus, which is great because I passed with a score of 403!! Know the tables and calculations OR know how to do them on a financial calculator. This was definitely the hardest test I have taken, but I am not a finance minded person and with the appropriate study time it is certainly passable.
