Quantitative methods?

Hi,
I am reading books provided by CFA institute for level 1. They are without a shadow of the doubt in detail.

Any suggestions on how I could cut to the chase without missing any important part? Basically would like to know what are the main parts and how many questions will you get asked in the exam from Quantitative methods.( I doubt if they will ask you what is the definition of normal distribution?)

Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for shedding some lights in here.

Regards
