[Nick Doinikov · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very useful book for all CFA candidates who are starting to prepare for the exam. A lot of essential information is described in a very simple and logical way. A must-read!

Drawbacks: Some chapters are too bulky and can be shortened in order not to waste time.

This book consolidates the quantitative methods material from the CFA level 1 and level 2 curriculum. It's very straight forward and practical; it's a must-have for any analyst wanting a resource for quick references of statistical methods.
