@paco: Dengue fever is mentioned in the theory and that mosquitoes spread it, but I fail to remember a statement that mosquitoes active by day but not those active at night spread it. But maybe I have not read the less relevant to flying stuff good enough (its hard to get everything perfectly among stuff that have little relevance to flying).

@asmith474: The QNH is exactly the same as ISA value used for flight levels 1013.2 hPa so the only thing you do is 8000 ft - 500 ft = 7500 ft. Then 7500 ft / 500 ft/min = 15 min. Then just 100/60 = 1,666667 and 1,66667 x 15 = 25 NM or just 0,25x100 = 25 NM since 15 min is 0,25 hour.

In question nr.2 are you sure they did not say anything about a drift angle? or wind direction and velocity?

As for question 3 just look at your CRP-5 (or get one you will need it in the future if you plan to do the ATPL) and imagine the VOR in the middle. Then radial 195 is going southwest from the VOR (more south than west) and aircraft flying 320 heading (magnetic since we do not know anything about variation) is going northwest. So its crossing a radial that is to the west of the VOR JED and its going in a northwesterly direction. So it has to be in the west of the VOR JED (but of course not exactly to the west, its southwest of the VOR JED in the moment of the crossing of the radial 195 so a tricky question giver could imagine that to the west means on radial 270 so then none of the above would be correct, thats why question banks help before the exam to solve different tricks from the question creators).
