ATPL Performance Exam - Use 100% of Wind for Graphs?

There is some debate at my ATPL school about whether to use 100% of the wind in the CAP Climb Graphs (this is the only graph that doesn't compensate for the head wind / tail wind in the graph)

The feedback from past students is that they got questions wrong in the EASA exams by using 100% of the wind. ie not using "150% of the tailwind/ 50% of the headwind " rule.

Historically the textbooks have said to use the full complement, aviationexam also uses 100%, and we all know they can't be wrong!

Any thoughts on this?
