The homework problems assigned, and the Midterms, are a good indicator of what is going to be on the Final Exam.
I will be expecting you to be able to draw the diagram of subgroups for some simple enough groups like Dn, for n=3,4,5,6 and Sn or An for n=3 and 4. You should be able to determine which subgroups are normal, and which are conjugate to each other.
In particular, I may ask you to find Sylow p-subgroups for such groups, to say how many are they, and what familiar groups are they isomorphic to. You may be also asked to find the normalizer of a given subgroup of such a group.
You should be able to determine the number of conjugacy classes of permutations of given order in Sn. For example: find the number of conjugacy classes of permutations of order 6 in S10.
