A chapter is split only when its PYQs are well above one test's share, at a natural boundary shown on the chip. In Parliamentary Procedure every test is built around an important chapter, marked on the card, with the short neighbouring chapters grouped alongside it.

Chapters are tested whole: each test carries about a seventh of the subject's previous-year questions, so a heavily asked chapter gets a test to itself and the least-asked chapters are grouped together. A chapter is split only when its PYQs are well above one test's share, at a natural boundary shown on the chip. In Parliamentary Procedure every test is built around an important chapter, marked on the card, with the short neighbouring chapters grouped alongside it. Each card lists the chapters covered under every subject; the subject's question count is fixed by the blueprint.<\/p><nav class=\"tl\" aria-label=\"Paper II test dates\"><a href=\"#P2-S1\"><i><\/i><b>S1<\/b><span>15 Nov<\/span><\/a><a href=\"#P2-S2\"><i><\/i><b>S2<\/b><span>17 Nov<\/span><\/a><a href=\"#P2-S3\"><i><\/i><b>S3<\/b><span>20 Nov<\/span><\/a><a href=\"#P2-S4\"><i><\/i><b>S4<\/b><span>22 Nov<\/span><\/a><a href=\"#P2-S5\"><i><\/i><b>S5<\/b><span>24 Nov<\/span><\/a><a href=\"#P2-S6\"><i><\/i><b>S6<\/b><span>27 Nov<\/span><\/a><a href=\"#P2-S7\"><i><\/i><b>S7<\/b><span>29 Nov<\/span><\/a><a class=\"f\" href=\"#P2-FLT1\"><i><\/i><b>FLT1<\/b><span>1 Dec<\/span><\/a><a class=\"f\" href=\"#P2-FLT2\"><i><\/i><b>FLT2<\/b><span>3 Dec<\/span><\/a><a class=\"f\" href=\"#P2-FLT3\"><i><\/i><b>FLT3<\/b><span>5 Dec<\/span><\/a><\/nav><div class=\"mocks\">\r\n<article class=\"mock\" id=\"P2-S1\"><header class=\"th\"><div class=\"tk\"><span class=\"dow\">Sun<\/span><span class=\"dd\">15<\/span><span class=\"mon\">Nov<\/span><\/div><div class=\"tm\"><div class=\"tcode\">P2-S1<\/div><div class=\"ttl\">Sectional mock 1<\/div><div class=\"tslot\">2:00\u20134:00 PM \u00b7 120 Q \u00b7 2 h<\/div><\/div><\/header><div class=\"tbody\"><section class=\"tsub\" style=\"--sc:var(--c1)\"><h5><i><\/i>CSMOP 2022 &amp; ISTM Notes<span class=\"sn\">24<\/span><\/h5><ul><li><span class=\"cn\">Introduction, definitions; organisation of Ministries\/Departments; functions of officers &amp; staff<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/section><section class=\"tsub\" style=\"--sc:var(--c2)\"><h5><i><\/i>FR &amp; SR (incl.
