===About Our Chapter Ranking Table===
  
−
There are 2 main topics in Exam 5: Reserving and Pricing. You can start with either topic but you must do the chapters in order because later chapters depend on material from earlier chapters.
+
The Ranking Table was originally based on an analysis of points-per-reading from past exams. This is no longer possible because exams have not been published since 2019-Fall. The Ranking Table is now based roughly on these previous exams and on the weights given in the syllabus, although that information is much less specific than what could be gleaned from past exams. It should still be helpful however in guiding your studying and directing your attention to the topics most likely to be tested. '''''(Percentages given below are approximates.)'''''
−
* The [[BattleBriefings#Ranking_Table_-_Ordered_by_Chapter | Ranking Table - Ordered by Chapter]] shows reserving articles/chapters on the left side and pricing articles/chapters on the right side. This table also shows the relative importance of each topic according to how frequently it appears on the exam, and a suggested amount of study time.
+
 
−
* The [[BattleBriefings#Ranking_Table_-_Ordered_by_Rank | Ranking Table - Ordered by Rank]] shows where each individual topic ranks relative all topics. This intended to help you decide where to focus your time. You must learn the frequently asked topics very well.
+
* "Top 5" chapters are the most heavily tested. "Top 5" and "Core Content" chapters together account for about <u>80</u>% of the points on the exam.  
 +
* "Bottom 20%" and "Rarely Tested" chapters together account for about <u>20</u>% of the points on the exam. "Rarely Tested" chapters appear rarely ''(or never)'' on the exam.
  
−
A good place to begin is with the wiki article for [[Friedland01.Overview]]. This is the first chapter on reserving from the Friedland text.

===How to Use the Chapter Ranking Table===
  
−
As you become more familiar with using the BattleActs system, take some time to explore the other features on the [https://www.battleacts5.ca/BattlePlan.php BattleActs Main Page]. There's a lot there so you don't have do it all right at the beginning. An especially useful link is [https://www.battleacts5.ca/FC.php?selectString=**&filter=both&sortOrder=natural&colorFlag=allFlag&colorStatus=allStatus&priority=A&prefix=all&suffix=all&section=all&subSection=all&subsetFlag=CP&examRep=all&examYear=all&examTerm=all&quizNum=0&select07=0&select08=0&select09=0 Direct Link to Web-Based Practice Problems]. It provides unlimited practice for calculation problems.
+
* Click on the <u>links</u> in the table below to go to specific chapters. You can start with either Reserving or Pricing but you should do the chapters in order because later chapters depend on material from earlier chapters.
 +
* Use the Ranking Table to organize the readings, set up a study schedule and determine how much time to spend on each article. Not all topics are tested equally, so they don’t deserve equal amounts of your attention.  
 +
* Here's another way to use the table to your advantage. If you have more time to study, read a higher ranked article that requires more concentration. Tired after a long day at work? Get a lower ranked article out of the way.

===Ranking Table - Ordered by Rank===
 
−
 
 
−
This is a rank-order listing of all readings on the Exam 5 syllabus. You can see that the top 20 chapters/reading account for 80% of the points on a typical exam. For the most part you still have to cover the chapters in numerical order but this table gives you a sense for how much time and effort you should devote to individual topics. If you use this information wisely you can save time while still maximizing your chances of passing the exam.
 
−
 
 
−
* Friedland chapters are shown with a light blue background.
 
−
* Werner chapters are shown with a white backgroud.
 
−
* Other pricing and reserving readings are shown with a grey background.

Exam 5 Study Material Can Be Accessed In The Ranking Table Below

About Our Chapter Ranking Table

The Ranking Table was originally based on an analysis of points-per-reading from past exams. This is no longer possible because exams have not been published since 2019-Fall. The Ranking Table is now based roughly on these previous exams and on the weights given in the syllabus, although that information is much less specific than what could be gleaned from past exams. It should still be helpful however in guiding your studying and directing your attention to the topics most likely to be tested. (Percentages given below are approximates.)

  • "Top 5" chapters are the most heavily tested. "Top 5" and "Core Content" chapters together account for about 80% of the points on the exam.
  • "Bottom 20%" and "Rarely Tested" chapters together account for about 20% of the points on the exam. "Rarely Tested" chapters appear rarely (or never) on the exam.

How to Use the Chapter Ranking Table

  • Click on the links in the table below to go to specific chapters. You can start with either Reserving or Pricing but you should do the chapters in order because later chapters depend on material from earlier chapters.
  • Use the Ranking Table to organize the readings, set up a study schedule and determine how much time to spend on each article. Not all topics are tested equally, so they don’t deserve equal amounts of your attention.
  • Here's another way to use the table to your advantage. If you have more time to study, read a higher ranked article that requires more concentration. Tired after a long day at work? Get a lower ranked article out of the way.
