This is my list of exam topics and algorithms we may need to know. 
If I left out anything, please add it in.
For each topic, I'm going to find all the past paper questions that I can and do them. If you have relevant past papers that you're willing to share, please forward them on.
This is a bit more than I usually do for an exam, but desperate times makes people desperate.
