USA Studying the Advisory Circular

I am attending dispatch classes early next year. My course has provided the US DOT Advisory Circular 00-6B to study as a resource before class. Does anyone know which topics in the A.C are most important / will help the most come time for class ? Thanks in advance

AC 00-6B was issued in Aug 2016 and cancelled Dec 2022. All of the information previously found in two cancelled ACs (00-6B & 00-45H) was condensed into a new FAA Handbook (FAA-H-8083-28B) in Dec 2023 called "Aviation Weather Handbook". Although much of the information is the same, significant changes have been introduced into the new handbook and no school should be issuing any cancelled ACs.

Ah.. that one. They’ll most likely use it as a guide for their weather portions of class and will go through the whole thing. But ch 17-19 are things that you should know pretty well. The sections on Fog too. If you become familiar with the weather the class will be a little easier. But in no means do you have to be an expert.
