Hello Level 1ers. Can anyone give an advice on a good statistics book? I want to use it instead of the crappy Quant book... Thanx in advance. |

I suggest that you simply buckle down and read it until you understand it. It's not worth the time finding a new book and trying to correlate the materials you need to cover. |

Ok...I don't know why it is so important to know the why of doing statistics...averages and whatnot and I don't know how you're going to apply Excel while in the exam. But, good luck! |

Skynet,
I have a book called "Data Analysis Using Excel" by Michael Middleton, Duxbury Press - my book is 'ancient' (1995) and refers to Excel 5.0, but I can imagine that there is an update for whatever version spreadsheet version you are using. it is a basic, reader-friendly guide to statistical techniques with built-in tutorials - and pretty much like what you seem to be looking for. |

I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
