    Just wondering is it possible to achieve a high grade in LC business without studying unit 6 or 7 but doing 1 to 5 really well? I heard 6 and 7 come up in long questions on their own so is there a necessity to study them when I could just opt not to do those two questions? Thanks!

    Luckily for us, the units on the 2016 ABQ are 3,4 and 5. That means you can get away with learning 1-5 off. However, you really do need to know these units extremely well. You wouldn't want to skip over unit 6 and 7 completely though, because they can come up for the short questions.

    Unit 6 is easy as hell. I don't know why you'd want to skip it. Then again I do economics so Unit 6 is just like a really simple version of the marco section. Unit 7, on the other hand, is a real pain. I still wouldn't recommend skipping it because sometimes the units you love have awkward questions. Like Unit 5 could be on something really tedious like marketing.

    I'd at least do unit 6 if I were you.

    Whats the drawbacks of skipping unit 6 Completely . But, studying all the rest units.
    Like I know all the short qs, that could come up from unit 6. To cover me in that area.

    Leaving unit 6. would leave me with 6 choices in long questions.(meaning i will not be able to do qs 2 on the first section)( you only have a maximum of 2 questions u can amswer from this)
    one of those questions, I will not count is the ratio ones(they are easy to calculate, but a pain in the ### to comment about them) so that leaves 5 out of 4.
    2 from first section. 3 from 2nd section.
    What do you guys think ?.
    Im hoping to ask my teacher aswell, but I know shes going to say to study all.
