IGCSE Accounting May/June 2014

[MariaZ]

Hey guys, I'm taking Accounting this session June 2014 and paper 1 is on 5th of June and paper 2 is on 9th of June.
Anyway, this my second time taking accounting because I took it in Nov 2013 but unfortunately the grade was so bad so due to the amount and difficulty of subjects I'm taking with accounting this session I barely studied accounting since the last session now there are 12 days left for paper 1 and 15 days left for paper 2 and I want to revise the syllabus as fast as possible and begin solving past papers to do good on the exam even though it's my mistake that I left it the whole time but everything is possible.
I need some advice and ask some questions:
1- What are the most common topics that come in Paper 1 and Paper 2 so I can set my timetable according to their priority?
2- What is the best book/notes to study from? (Currently, I have the Accounting for Cambridge IGCSE Book and a 200 page notes from a well known teacher)
3- What is the most efficient and easy way to study Accounting?

**NOTE: I have a Paper 2 Chemistry A level Edexcel exam left before the Accounting exams so keep that in mind.
...and finally, is there any chance that I could score an A* in the accounting this session because I truly don't have any time in the next sessions for re-examinations.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

ehem.. umm
okay, so i have this accounting doubt and I'd really appreciate some help. I'm really sorry if this is causing any cause of inconvenience to anyone, but I'm literally drowning in this subject.
Well so, this is May- June 2013 paper 22 Q.3 (bank reconciliation).
So, in the updated cash book we are expected to include anything in the bank statement that isn't recorded in the cash book right? so that's what i did, but when i checked the mark scheme i found that they included the rent, and the dishonored cheque but not this transaction on 2nd of April of "Credit -- $280" , and i have noo idea why is that so, would someone please help me out with this one?
