This is important because you will create a plan to turn your weaknesses into strengths and ignore certain weaknesses if they are not important from the exam point of view; improve your strengths.

If you do not have enough time, pick a chapter that you are comfortable with that will cover more questions in the exam. Give priority to important chapters if you have not revised them enough. If exams are just approaching, leave out the new chapters, it may create a lot of stress. You may anyway not be able to master them for the exam.
