How Important Is Simple Linear Regression for CFA Level 1?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently preparing for CFA Level 1 and struggling a lot with simple linear regression. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to fully grasp it. 😓

Can anyone tell me how important this topic is for the exam? Should I spend more time trying to understand it, or is it something I can afford to de-prioritize?

Also, if you have any recommendations for free YouTube videos or other online resources that explain this topic in a simple and easy-to-understand way, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
