CFA® Level I Quantitative Methods: Visual Walkthroughs

In Quantitative Methods it is easy to know the words and still lose the marks: the formula is familiar, but which number goes where, and why, is not. This course takes each learning outcome in the 2027 Level I Quantitative Methods topic and works through it on screen, one short lecture at a time.

Each lecture is a narrated walkthrough. It states the outcome, explains the idea in plain language, builds the diagram or chart that makes it visible, and then works a numerical example step by step, with every symbol labelled, so you can see where each figure comes from. Lectures run about four minutes and follow the curriculum's own order, module by module: returns and rates, the time value of money, statistics and distributions, estimation and hypothesis testing, portfolio return and risk, simulation, regression, and financial data science.

Two practice tests of 60 exam-style questions each cover the whole topic. Every wrong answer comes with an explanation of the mistake that leads to it, and your results are broken down by module, so you know where to spend your next hour.

Who this is for: candidates sitting CFA Level I on the 2027 curriculum who want Quant explained rather than summarised, and anyone who has read the material and wants to check they can actually do the calculations.

The lectures are narrated with a synthetic voice. The explanations, examples and questions are written for this course and are not CFA Institute curriculum material.
