essay topic breakdown anywhere, practice, subjects, only, something

transferpricing

is there an essay topic breakdown? as in, certain subjects will/may be tested in the essay section and certain topics will only be tested in the multiple choice? I couldn't find something like that anywhere on the CFA website, but my Stalla practice exam booklet shows breakdowns (and I don't think they're just applicable to the exams in that booklet). I want to see if there's any weight to their breakdown.
