    When answering questions that require 2 factors to be discussed e.g. 'Examine 2 factors that have led to the development of manufacturing industry in a non-Irish European region.' Do you need to discuss an equal number of SRPs under each factor to achieve full maks?

    No, just 15 SRPs total :)

    Actually, I think the amount of SRPs has to be fairly even for each part. My teacher was always adamant about this. Also, from looking at the exam papers this seems to be the case too e.g. 2013 paper qu. 5 B and qu. 12 C. I think that if you had 11 SRPs for one factor, and 4 SRPs for the other, you wouldn't get 30 marks, despite having the total amount of SRPs that is required.

    Yup, the SRPs gotta be equal for each heading/part. You won't be able to make up the marks that you left in another paragraph e.g 10 SRPs in one, 5 in the other, you won't get full marks because one is missing some SRPs.
