point one: if you are flying at 6000' you are flying at an IFR altitude...shouldn't you be VFR at 6500' feet? (assuming youare above 3000 agl)
That is how I learnt it in Germany, however in UK they use - I believe - the quadrant rule. Means magnetic track 0 - 89 - odd thousands. MT 90 - 179 odd thousands plus 500, MT 180 - 269 Even thousands and 270 - 359 even thousands plus 500 - at least that's what it says in my 2012 Jeppesen EG5 Chart....
