    Well the 2 papers combined are 600 marks, so you need 240 marks to pass. Questions are 50 marks each. So 5 full questions!

    It's best to attempt EVERYTHING. On the Ordinary paper you have a fair amount of time so you should have time to do this and could pick up attempt marks. Even if you focus on a few questions more and know them well, attempt the others. There are so many attempt marks given out at ordinary level if you show any sort of understanding of the question or stab in the right direction.
