is GIPS considered part of the 10% ethics weighting, or is considered a stand-alone topic?

Agreed, Individual IPS and Institutional IPS are guaranteed to be the top items on the exam, in addition to being the first items on the exam.

Ethics (including Asset Managers Code) will be important too; especially Readings 3/4/5/6.

GIPS will be up there too.

Things get unpredicable after that. But if you can avoid bungling IPS, Ethics, and GIPS, it should be smooth sailing.

You should NEVER get into thinking you can "game" this exam...It is crucial that you have a phenomenal grasp of the L3 body of knowledge, espcially how to quickly integrate topics and concepts in order to answer the questions.
