    Wow, they have made a mess of that!


    The first section adds up to 180 out of a total of (presumably) 300 which means it is 60% not 70%

    The second section has 4 x 40 marks (I don't know what they mean by a total of 100 marks) which is 160, not 120. If it were 120 that would be 40% which with the 60% works. But how many questions have to be answered?

    Have I got that right? A couple of glasses of wine isn't helping my maths :D

    If its 180 plus 160 thats 340, which doesn't make reasonable percentages, does it?

    Not familiar with this module, but you should always go by the marking sheet at the end of the module descriptor.
