Here are some notes which I made up using the user guide and going through all the past papers.
The silver nitrate test for halides is definitely going to come up, as well as the flame tests!

what do you need to know about sodium thiosulfate iodine? all i know is that the indicator has to be starch and it'd change from blue-black to colourless

This is what i picked up from doing past papers, but honestly, that's not enough, you need to study unit 1 and 2 since anything from those 2 units could crop up!

guys could anyone tell me why dilute nitric acid is used in the test for halogens. i know one reason is to get rid of competing ions that would interfere with the test (ex: carbonates) whats the other reason? and for which questions should we apply one or the other? please help :)
