Will I need to memorize the profitability ratios (profit margin, return on assets, return on equity), asset utilization ratios (receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover, fixed asset turnover, total asset turnover), liquidity ratios (current ratio, quick ratio), and debt utilization ratios (debt to total assets, times interest earned, fixed change coverage)? Or just basic ones, such as the current and quick ratio? I have a financial calculator (HP 10bII), it can do TVM, NPV, IRR/YR, but don't see that it has any built-in ratios. Thanks.

Yes, know all those ratios. Review them just before you go in, and then jot them all down on your scratch paper before you begin the exam.
