Chapters of Micro, macro, Finance and TOI with prob <0.25

The response to my first question was good. You can judge the response by the number of reviews. I think some people did not like my question as they want to do intense study. Hurrah for them. Keep up the good work. But, I still think that there would be lots of people who will benefit if they know which chapters have a probability of a question less than 0.25. It means the chapters which get one question in about four sitting exams. If there are in total 8 chapters like this. You get rid of remembering good chunk of material and still only miss 2 questions. Any response will be welcome...... have fun.....

Go to the BPP website and look for student mailbag oct 10 2003. you'll get a breakdown of question subjects for may 2000 to may 2003. When you're finished with your survey report back.

If you just study questions that are actually on the test you don't have to worry about studying things not on the tests. It's easier than playing this guessing game.

The problem with your method I think, is that almost all the chapters of micro and macro, and even some toi have just one or two questions per chapter on the actual test. But if you skip those chapters those 1-2 questions you're missing will start to add up.

We should look for chapters which don't have questions on every exam. We should eliminate chapters which only have questions on one exam out of 4. This way leaving 4 chapters only only punishes us by one question.
Any ideas

Look, I understand your situation. I was in a crunch last November and felt I needed shortcuts too. The problem is that people on this board are studying for the exam right now, and they don't have time to do research for your shortcuts. You'll have to do the research on your own. It's true in some cases that you can waste more time trying to find shortcuts than you would if you just studied the material. Nonetheless, I would suggest that you search the really old threads for this course because people have talked about this kind of stuff in the past. Here's a link to give you a start.

When you have a question over a concept from something that you determined was important enough to learn, people are very gracious to work through the problems because they benefit them as well. Best of luck in the remainder of your preparation.

I should thank you for your time. But, if you don't have time and busy in studying, please concentrate on study and don't read the post. It is not for you. This thread is not just for me. I am sure there would be other beneficiaries, too. Plus, don't think I am in very desperate situation. I have gone through all the course once along with questions. In this thread, people can just give their opinions about chapters and then it will be useful for people close to the exam when they will have less time and they will want to skip some unimportant topics and would like to concentrate on more important topics. It is clear that we should go through all the material. Plus, the thread would be useful when more people will be going through old exams and will write about their experiences. But, any how thanks for your time.
