Default All10...help!

i just received my exam 6 all10 study manual...and am quite annoyed/confused. why is the recommended 13 week reading schedule different from the order the topics are covered in the study manual?? the time schedule thingy on-line has checkmarks for reading the article, reading the summary, working sample questions, and working CAS questions. so, am i to read the article (in the suggested reading schedule order) and then go find where it's covered in the manual for all the sample questions and such?? why is that darn reading schedule all over the place with the three main topics? please help. i'm very frustrated.

I have tried using the All 10 Study schedule and I didn't like it because it jumps around in the different topics. The way I study now is to just go thru the All 10 from beginning to end.

I believe that the All10 manual is arranged in the same order as the syllabus. I base my studying off the syllabus, not the All10 suggestions. I generally only concentrate on the sections that aren't labeled "0 to 5%".

Me and my study buddy are also planning to start with Volume 1A of All 10 and go through the syllabus in the same order as the manual. I hate jumping topics .. everything feels like all scattered in different parts of my brain.. going through the order will help (hopefully)

That this or leave it, but I always study the "big" papers first and then move to the smaller papers.

By "big" I mean the papers worth lots of points.

I didn't pay any attention to the online schedule when I did this.

Follow the order of the manual - that is the best way as all the similar topics are grouped together.
