Yes he has given us 10 questions, six of them will appear verbatim on the exam. We can choose four of those six to answer.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I knew that studying 8 would give me 100% coverage for the exam, I guess what I was wondering is if I only studied 7, what the odds are that three of the six on the exam will be the three I didn't study. And if I only studied 6, what are the odds that 3 or 4 of the 4 I didn't study would be on the exam?

For example, if studying 7 gives me a 99% chance of full coverage for the exam, is studying that 8th question really worth it?

At what point does the increase in potential exam coverage from studying one more question become less than the increase in time invested?
