        Hey Everyone,

        Just completed reading Quantitative Methods(QM).

        If someone has free practice materials for QM and share, I would really appreciate the effort. Plus I would also be interested in hearing how I could help any of you or 300 hours community.

        Many Thanks

          Hey @sr2014

          Good to have you here! Some points to take note:

          Cutting to the chase without missing any important part: technically anything that is written in the CFA Institute curriculuem (except for the parts marked ‘optional’) is fair game to be tested. So I can’t really say what is ‘important’ and not. Having said that third party providers have shorter and better-formatted (at least when I took the exam) notes so that may help you on that point.

          How many questions will you get asked in the exam from Quant Methods: the weightings are public knowledge, so you can figure out the number from there. Quant Methods is supposedly 12% which is about 29 questions. We have a ton of info on topics here, including what might give you the most trouble: http://www.300hours.com/1/post/2013/02/cfa-results-analysis-topics-you-should-watch-out-for-in-your-own-cfa-level-i.html

          I doubt if they will ask you what is the definition of normal distribution: They most certainly could.

            Hi @Christine. Oops, I will revise that article too just to make it less awkward. I did not expect to get your reply like a bouncing ball. What about you? Are you a CFA charter holder? Share me your story, I am here to listen:)

              No worries @sr2014 – the 300 hours team here are pretty cool about that, and we’re all charterholders. We do answer your questions as soon as we see them!

                Hey @sr2014‌ , there’s a free question bank by Passed Tense in the 300 Hours Offers section for your level. Wished there was one for L2 though! It has 2,500+ questions apparently, should be more than you need for extra questions!

                  Hello @Maroon5,

                  Thanks for your reply.

                  I have looked into the website and attempted a few questions. It’s good.

                  Cheers

                    Hi @christine,

                    Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions.

                    I am combining mixes of strategies to learn better CFAI, Schweser videos, 300hours and I will dig even more.

                    You are right, you can get tested on any topic hence I am not putting all eggs in one basket.

                    Were you the one who managed to thrash CFA Level 1,2 and 3 in 18 months? Would like to hear your story and strategy?

                    Cheers
