You may need to, however, it's not hard to remember I = PRN. I'm pretty sure I used the formula in the HSC to back calculate the simple interest rate compared to the variable interest rate; can't really remember though.

In the topic of series and sequences, simple interest isn't really related, but is covered in the financial mathematics section of the course. It's examinable.
