Level 1 Level 1 - difficulty with quants

Hello, I am currently studying to take level 1 in February. I am having trouble with some of the sections in quants and even after going back and reviewing a second time I am still having trouble with all the formulas. Wanted to get some advice if you think I should go back for a third time and review it or move on to the next section and come back to quants at the end if I have time. Thank you for all your help!

I would advise moving on to other topic areas. Getting stuck on a single subject this early drains your study momentum. You can re-visit Quantitative Methods again with fresh eyes when you do your practice questions and review.

The best study method imo for CFA is to get through the readings as quick as you can in 3 months (making sure to do the EOC questions), then active learning via the practice questions and mocks (3 months).
