My state exams have questions with 3 parts: a, b, c. a is a question about fundamentals. Everyone pretty much needs to get this one correct. If you don't it means you don't know the subject matter. b is a question to test what you have been taught. If you were paying attention and studying you should get most of the marks. It will still be difficult though and there's potential to lose marks. c is a harder question. The students that are advanced in the subject will be able to tackle it. You might be able to get full marks in some of the c questions but probably not them all. In most you will be able to get some marks for effort shown.
