guys as a level 3 candidate i would honestly say that if you are seriously behind then leave out a significant portion of derivatives including swaps...am telling you this because even if you do spend (lets say 3 days) to master some of the material you might still not be able to answer the exam questions.....

if i were to repeat level 2 i would probably leave derivatives and stupid chapters like emerging markets...i think the topics which are going to give you the most are topics like statistics,equities,FSA and Fixed Income....

imho

p.s quant will surprise you because all are waiting for very hard formulas and calculations but the institute always finds a way to ask them in a conceptual way...make sure you get the basics there and should be able to answer 3 or 4 in a quant problem set...
