Massive Syllabus Compress

The syllabus is enormous, the exam is close, and there's no way to cover it all. This makes you think like the examiner: it works out which areas get tested most and carry the most marks, sorts every topic into must-know, should-know or can-skip, and builds a plan around that. For anyone staring down a notoriously broad exam with the clock running.

I am preparing for {EXAM_NAME}, which has a notoriously large syllabus covering {BROAD_TOPIC_AREAS}. My exam is in {DAYS_REMAINING} days. I cannot cover everything. I need you to help me think like an examiner. Do this: 1. Identify which topic areas are most frequently tested and carry the most marks based on what you know about {EXAM_NAME}. 2. Categorise every broad area as must-know, should-know, or can-skip. 3. Build a day-by-day revision calendar for {DAYS_REMAINING} days that covers must-know topics first, then as many should-know topics as time allows. 4. Tell me the one thing candidates who pass this exam at short notice consistently do that those who fail do not.
