Grrr instrumentation question

Hey Guys,

I didn't want to open a new topic for this, so let me ask a question here:

A pilot wishes to turn left on to a northerly heading with 10° bank at a latitude of 50° North. Using a direct reading compass, in order to achieve this he must stop the turn on an approximate heading of: (???)

In the AviationExam.com database the correct answer was 30°, but I've done some research on the net and it ended up by getting different correct answers (like 15°e.g.)...

So, my question is, to get is straight finally, what is the correct method to determine your approximate heading to roll the plane out?

Thanks in advance for your help!
