Difficulty of Quantitative analysis practice questions

[VPint6929]

Hi team,

Maybe I am doing this wrong but hopefully, I can attract wisdom from previous learners. I have noticed that the practice questions are way too difficult to solve given just the study notes and Instructional videos, and I spend much more time figuring out why something was done the way it is done using the forum answers. The forum and explanation also feel a tad bit complicated.

Is there a reason why study notes do not show how to solve quantitative analysis questions?
Am I supposed to read GARP study material and then ready study notes?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

hi,
The practice questions in BT are more difficult than the real exam questions. It's designed as such so that the real questions feel easier in the exam and also, to grasp the concept.

You can see the explantions for the questions in the forum.

Thanks, @HGune7541 , I have tried Quantitative Analysis's first 2 chapters and their solutions on the forum, but it is very difficult. The study notes don't feel enough to solve those practice questions. I assume now that GARP study material would have more information on at least the Quant and Valuation & Risk model topics.
