    Ok I need help answering this question. I have an exam coming up. The exam consists of 8 questions and five must be answered. The course outline consists of 15 topics.

    Ideally I should cover all 15 topics to give myself the best opportunity at passing but what are the minimum number of topics I could cover before enetering the exam?

    Any help would be great!

    Total possible questions - total avoidable questions = 15 - 3 = 12.

    I was curious to find out, so I did some calculations.

    Bottom Line: If you know 7 topics perfectly, you have a 90% chance of passing.

    Calculations attached.

    Unless the 8 questions are based on the other 8 topics that you don't study! :D
