Hi all,
Where could we find a list of all exam’s formulas? I mean, there are a lot of formulas in the official study course, but a lot of them seem to be a part of the following formula. For instance, I read that we shouldn’t have to learn the Skewness or Kurtosis and Excess Kurtosis formula, is it right?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Merry Xmas everyone.
 
Thanks S2000magician,
So, it’s highly recommanded to study with Schweser rather than just the official study course…
I noticed a huge overlap on the Quantitative Methods VS CAIA Level I study course. We didn’t have to learn these formulas. So, that’s the same rule with the CFA Level I.

It’s not highly recommended by me: I just started doing work for Wiley. As I haven’t received hard copies of their study guides yet, I cannot say for certain that they have a summary of all of the formulae, but it would surprise me if they didn’t.
I was just stating a fact about Schweser, not a recommendation.

I’ve never seen the CAIA curriculum, so you’d know more about that than I. Certainly for the Level I CFA exam you do not need to know the formulae for calculating skewness and kurtosis.
 
All you require is to understand the concept of skewness and kurtosis. Based on most of the questions i have attempted, I have never been asked to calculate skewness and kurtosis.
The calculation you have in Kaplan Schweser is just to assist you understanding.
Cheers!!!
