Portfolio Variance-- does it actually show up on exam? actually, difficult, experience, especially, understand

I've been trying to memorize and understand the formulas for portfolio variance but its a pain in the ass.. especially when you put in a 3 asset portfolio. In your experience, has this question actually come up in the exam? It seems like a difficult problem not worth one's time (during prep and in the actual exam).

Thoughts?

come back to it in one week and it will make more sense.

spend an hour or so on it.

come back in one week...

repeat until it seems like a simple concept and the equation that makes sense.
