Start here
Study these chapters first.
Four chapters carry 53.8% of the theory paper — Ch 6 Functions and Graphs, Ch 2 Quadratic Equations, Ch 1 Complex Numbers, Ch 12 Basic Statistics. Master these first.
The next four — Ch 9 Chord and Arcs of a Circle, Ch 10 Tangents and Angles of a Circle, Ch 7 Vectors in Plane, Ch 11 Practical Geometry of Circles — add 29.7%, taking the running total to 83.5%.
The remaining chapters share the last 16.5%. LAST here does not mean skip — every one of them can set MCQs and short questions.
