I am writing Honours exams for the first time this week, and the studying is not going so good. What is the sub minimum that is required to pass the written exams? I have a year mark of 43%.

Let me have a go .... my calculator needs some exercise smile

You need:
[50 - (43/10)]/90 * 100
= [50 - 4.3]/90 * 100
= 45.7/90 * 100
= 0.5077 * 100
= 50.77% to pass, assuming that your year mark counts 10% towards the final mark and off course assuming a pass mark of 50%
