Olendirk,
I will be sitting these exams in a couple of weeks, I should know this.
You should be able to get an hour angle of more than 12 hours.
If the celestrial body is slightly east of the greenwich meridian, then the Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) is just short of 24hrs, since angle is measured west from the Greenwich meridian for GHA.
Hope this helps
POL
