Chap 2 – identifying and selecting systems development project : prototyping, others read at a glance)
Chap 3 - initiating and planning systems development project
Chap 4 – determining system requirements (read theory, focus on - JAD, others read at a glance)
Chap 5 – structuring system process requirements - focus on construction/designing of DFD, understand theory to create the diagram
Chap 6 – structuring system logical requirements (read theory - decision tree, structured English)
Chap 7 – structuring system data requirements - focus on construction/designing of ER Diagram, understand theory to create the diagram
Chap 8 – designing databases - focus on creating databases (consist of many tables and perform normalization), understand theory to create the diagram

Chap 10 – designing interfaces and dialogues - focus on creating user interface, do not emphasize on theory

note: all topics should be read to ensure overall understanding, focus on certain topics, may help you to practice on the hands-on/diagram task

For diagram in part B, only one question would be asked either DFD/ERD, but you need to know/study both.
