Quantitative Methods carries 5 to 10 percent of the CFA Level 2 examination. Level 2 is delivered entirely as item sets, so this area reaches you as vignettes with four questions each rather than as standalone problems, and the vignette will usually contain more information than any single question needs.
Level 2 quantitative methods is essentially a regression course. Multiple regression, and then everything that can go wrong with it: heteroskedasticity, serial correlation and multicollinearity, how each is detected, what each does to your coefficients and standard errors, and how each is corrected. Time series analysis, and the machine learning and big data readings, complete the area.
This free Set 1 paper is built as vignettes on the real Level 2 format, timed to the pace of the actual exam, with a full explanation on every answer and a report card showing which parts of the area are costing you marks.

You have seen what Set 1 looks like. Sets 2 to 10 are where the real preparation happens: 900 more CFA Level 2 Quantitative Methods questions, every one with a worked explanation.
Learn the violations as a table you can reproduce from memory: the problem, the test that detects it, the effect on coefficients, the effect on standard errors, the fix. Nearly every quantitative vignette can be answered from that table plus careful arithmetic.
The general Level 2 discipline applies here too. Work the vignette before the questions, mark the data you will need, and resist answering from Level 1 memory, because Level 2 rewards application and frequently punishes the answer that would have been correct a year earlier.
