Using the Ranking Table

About Our Article 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 and there have been very significant changes to the syllabus since then. The Ranking Table is now based roughly 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.

How to Use the Article Ranking Table

• Click on the links in the table below to go to specific chapters. Unlike Exam 5, you don't have to read the articles in any particular order.
• 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. Click here for more tips on how to use the ranking table.
