How is the ranking made?

Every question in the bank carries the number of DGCA exam sessions it came up in. A topic's share is that number summed over its questions, against the whole subject.

Very high is half as much again as an even share or more, High an even share or more, Medium at least half of one, and Low less than that. The ranking moves as new sessions come in, and each chapter of the subject carries its topic's level.
