The six CLE subjects, ranked by how much they actually weigh

Here is the trap: all six subjects are the same size on paper and not the same size in your grade. Each one is exactly 100 items. But Criminal Law and Jurisprudence, Crime Detection and Investigation, and Criminology each carry 20% of your final rating, Law Enforcement Administration and Forensic Science carry 15% each, and Correctional Administration carries 10%. Answering an item right in Correctional Administration is worth half of answering one right in Criminology.

Do the arithmetic on your study week and the point becomes concrete. Ten hours split evenly gives every subject about 1.7 hours, which means you are giving your 10% subject the same time as a subject that counts twice as much. The blueprint says a heavyweight subject deserves roughly double the attention of Correctional Administration, and your schedule should look like that on paper.

Your review hours should follow that blueprint, not your comfort zone. It is easy to over-study a subject you enjoy and under-serve a heavier one you find dry, and the weighting quietly punishes that.

The weights are only half of the plan; the 60% subject floor is the other half. A low-weight subject can still defer your result if it collapses, so Correctional Administration earning fewer hours never means earning zero hours. Weight decides how much time a subject gets; the floor decides the minimum it must never fall below.

CrimForge holds its question bank at those same six shares, so your practice mix mirrors the real exam instead of your preferences.
