\"\"<\/a>The fast pace of the UBC MM program means that all students will need to have a foundational proficiency in Quantitative Methods and familiarity with Statistics and Economics.\u00a0 When your classes begin in October, you’ll need to be familiar with all of the material listed below as classes move along very quickly.<\/p>\n

Each of you comes to the program with a different academic background, so your familiarity with the academic prep tutorials will also vary. It may be that some of the resources on this list are very familiar to you, and you can quickly review them to make sure you’re up to speed, or you may have never covered some of the subjects and will need to learn them in-depth.<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/a><\/h3>
<\/p>\n

Where to begin: <\/strong>Review each section and complete those areas you are currently not comfortable with. Most tutorials include quizzes and practice tests, so completing these is a good way to quickly review if you are familiar with the content.<\/p>\n

If you'd like to track your learning progress you can sign up for a user account with Khan Academy, but it's not required.<\/em><\/p>\n

Completion times:<\/strong> We have estimated the amount of time to complete each section based on the length of videos and allocating time for the practice questions. It may take you longer or shorter than we have indicated and after a few sections you'll begin to get an idea of your speed compared to our estimates.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer:<\/strong> These tutorials have not been vetted in-depth. They have been selected based on the concepts included and tutorial descriptions. You are encouraged to explore the content and cover concepts you are unfamiliar with. The aim is to ensure that you have foundational proficiency in these topics, but not all concepts may apply directly to course work.<\/em><\/p>\n

All resources are from Khan Academy<\/a>, unless otherwise indicated.<\/p>\n
