june2009 @2017-08-10 00:30:14	I'm really struggling on this section. I'm ok nearly all the way up to probability, anything past there I'm really struggling to grasp. It's like double Dutch to me. I'm a bit worried if I'm struggling on the quants at level 1, is it even feasible for me to be attempting the CFA. I work as a financial planner and do not have any finance related degree. Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation?
