Start here
Study these chapters first.
Three chapters carry 55.1% of the theory paper — Ch 7 Coordinate Geometry, Ch 6 Trigonometry and Bearing, Ch 3 Sets and Relations. Master these first.
The next three — Ch 11 Basic Statistics, Ch 4 Factorization and Algebraic Manipulation, Ch 2 Logarithms — add 27.6%, taking the running total to 82.7%.
The remaining chapters share the last 17.3%. LAST here does not mean skip — every one of them can set MCQs and short questions.
