I've done 3 twice. The first time I passed two, the second time I passed one.
My advice would be to work on all 3 equally to begin with. Then after a couple of months identify which ones you're more likely to pass (you will have your favourites), then really concentrate on them in order of preference over the others. Eg, spend 50% on subject 1, 30% on subject 2, and 20% on subject 3. Or something similar.
This method then asssures some success. However, if after dividing your time as above you feel like maybe you are in a position to nail subject 1 and still have 5 weeks or so to the exams then divide your time with more emphasis on the difficut subjects. This way you still have a good chance of passing all three.
This way you give yourself a very good chance of passing at least one or two and some chance of passing all 3.
The alternative would be to study all 3 equally. This in my opinion has the disadvantage that a subject that you know you can pass but requires a little extra work to be 100% would be jepordised and given that the other subjects are even more difficult you may fail them regardless of the fact you spent an even amount of time on them. But for some insane reason you may continue to work on them like you are going through the motions of planning for success when really deep down inside you know the truth - your going to fail! So why jepordise failing something you can pass for something given the time constraints you can't?
Is it better to pass 1 or 2 knowing that you will get a result or fail all 3 knowing you could of passed one or two if you'd spent less time on that 3rd one?
However if you are a machine ignore above advice and simply plough through all three any way you like and pass (about 10% of students have this ability I do not).
The first time I did this I felt at exam tme I had a good chance of passing all 3 (I passed 2). Second time I did it I felt I had a good chance of passing 2 (I passed 1).
Good luck!
