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.
