Description
Quantitative methods is the most fundamental topic in the CFA Level 1 Exam. It is a good starting point for you if you are a CFA Level 1 candidate. As several of the concepts are foundational to other topics in the Level 1 curriculum, you should pay extra attention to this topic before moving on. You may find the mathematics for quant too complex, and that's why we created this course to simplify them for you!

We believe in the Pareto principle - putting in the 20% effort to score 80% of the marks.

The PrepNuggets approach is simply to condense at least 80% of the pertinent material from the curriculum, to easily digestible nuggets for you to consume during your pockets of free time. Each nugget is painstakingly crafted to explain really complex concepts using engaging illustrations and animations. No more wading through pages and pages of non-stop text, or sitting through long boring lectures with slides filled with text.

By the end of this course, we are confident that you will be able to comfortably handle at least 80% of the questions under Quantitative Methods, more than enough to give you a passing mark for this section.
