Total importance score of the repeated questions in each chapter.
How these scores are calculated
Each appearance is weighted by how recent the paper is — the weight halves every 4 years. Relative to the newest paper (2024):
2015 ×0.21 · 2016 ×0.25 · 2017 ×0.30 · 2018 ×0.35 · 2019 ×0.42 · 2020 ×0.50 · 2021 ×0.59 · 2022 ×0.71 · 2023 ×0.84 · 2024 ×1.00
repeat rate = combined weight of the years it appeared ÷ combined weight of all 10 papers.
- Evidence — ×0.9 for two appearances close together, ×0.7 for two 5+ years apart (a one-off return), ×1 for three or more.
- Due — ×1.12 when the typical gap between appearances points at 2025 (±1 year).
- Skipped — questions seen once, and any that only appear in the latest 2 exam years, are left out.
score = rate × evidence × due × 100 · High ≥ 40 Medium ≥ 25
The year after the arrow is the last appearance plus the typical gap between a question's appearances.
