We have a philosophy exam and it asks 4 qestions and we have to answer 2.

The possible topics are:

Skepticism
Free Will & Determinism
Mind/Body Problem
Personal Identity
Existence of God
Relativism

Free Will & Determinism we've been told won't be on the exam as we did an essay on that. So that leaves the other 5. I've already written off studying skepticism as I went to barely an lectures leaving me with the other four.

Ive already studied the mind/body problem, personal identity and the existence of god, pretty well.

Is 3 topics the minimum i need to know? to be sure I can answer 2 questions

Because I was going to study relativism today, but I'd much prefer to go over the other 3 and know them really well for tomorrow.

I can't figure out what's the minimum number of topics I need to know.

the 4 questions will be about a topic each. I have to answer 2 so theoretically if I only know two topics and the right questions come up I could get an A.

The questions are completely separate from each other and each one is about a separate topic.

I'm not asking that. I only have to do 2 questions. They won't be testing me on all topics.

There's 4 questions about a separate topic each and I get to pick 2 of them to answer.

I'm asking: what is the fewest amount of topics I need to know, so that I can definitely be able to answer 2 questions?
