Seen lots on the relative importance of English Vs Math Vs NVR.

Looking at this year test number in terms of pure work

English 58% of the work to get 50% of the marks
Maths 16% of the work to get 25% of the marks
NVR 26% of the work to get 25% of the marks

So if your good at maths, you only had to do a little more half the work, that you would have had to do on NVR to achieve the same SD marks.

Why would CEM make you work so much harder on NVR for the same potential contribution to your overall result?

On English even though its 50% of the SD you had to travel 15% longer - more work to get those precious points. Its nearly 60% of the work.

Where did you pull the 58%, 16% and 26% from?
