What would you focus on? following, management, completely, only

Need a little help here, guys. I've completely not looked at the following topics:

- Ethics (study sessions 1 & 2)
- Risk management (study sessions 14 & 15)
- Portfolio evaluation (study session 17)
- GIPS (study session 18)

Assuming I only have time to learn 2 of the above 4 categories, which ones do you think I should focus?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ethics and GIPS - That's 3 vignette's - 18 questions. And with only one day left others are just too much to understand

like LGF said, roughly 15% on Ethics/GIPS. Probably 5-10% evaluation, maybe a little more for risk management. The good news is, most of these will show up in the afternoon where its multiple choice. So make sure you come back for the afternoon and take your best guesses.

Ethis is guaranteed at least 10%, bank them

How would you suggest studying GIPS?

I know the calculations and have memorized the required disclosures, but still get caught up on detailed rules. I know with ethics doing problems is the best way, is it the same with GIPS?

no ethics. it's intuitive. go for risk management and GIPS.
