    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know how the marking works, do they do it section by section I know obviously you need 50% overall but do they do a certain percentage on section a/b/c.

    I know you can actually get more wrong then you think.

    I think my anxiety always makes me want to try work out my marks :S

    It is based on the total for the whole paper only, so for example you could get zero marks for question 3 and still pass the paper as long as you achieve 50 marks across the other two questions.

    Marking is based on overall exam, there is no section-specific marking. If overall mark is >50, you’ll pass, even if you scored zero marks in section a particular section.
