Well in terms of figuring out what to study why don't you take a population sample x ~ X where X is past tests, then work out for a given pass mark which questions you need to be able to answer such that the expectation value of a given test is higher than that?

Or something idk

Do you have a student center tutoring program you could use for help? It sounds like your prof is just throwing info at you without really explaining how to understand that information. Having someone more able to go over it with you directly, correct mistakes, etc. should be helpful.

Sounds like we don't have a ton of people who can help with stats, but as an educator I definitely want to help you learn your best!
