Every chapter, its class, its expected weightage, and a direct route into practice.

Where the marks are #

33 questions are accounted for across 16 chapters.

The expected-questions column is the closest thing to a revision priority order this syllabus gives you. Chapters expecting three or more questions repay time at several times the rate of the single-question chapters — but the single-question chapters are usually short, which is why they are worth clearing early rather than skipping.

Every chapter in this subject has a published weightage figure.
