    I'm always happy to gamble with someone else's exam sitting ;)

    If you prepare for everything, nothing can surprise you!

    Firstly note that the chief examiner has changed recently - so the style will be most like the last paper.

    A typical (but not every) paper consists of:

    Ch13 Regression ~20%
    Ch11/12 CI/Test ~15-20%
    Ch10 MLE/bias/CRLB ~15%
    Ch14 ANOVA 5-15%
    Ch8 CLT 5%
    Ch7 Conditional/compound 5+%

    The early chapters 1-4 tend to be very small.
    and then chapters 5 & 6 vary enormously - sometimes nothing, sometimes big...

    Did you think there were any big gaps in the last sitting?

    Yes - there was nothing on Ch6 joint distributions or Ch7 conditional moments.

    Nor was there the standard question on Ch8 CLT.

    Also MGFs were very light.
