1. Didn't they dumb them down awhile back?

2. Are they allowed to used calculators now?

3. I think this may be skewed by the fact that everyone is taking them now. In the old days, it was mostly for the college bound, wasn't it?

Thanks

I helped a woman I worked with get her online degree in accounting a few years back. I was surprised they don’t require them to understand and perform math formulas, they just taught them what buttons to push on the calculator. Not understanding the math behind financial information can cause problems.
