Query 3.1
Which one is (British English) grammatically correct : passing marks vs pass marks ?
(Please elaborate).
Top answer
We would normally talk about reaching a 'pass mark' in a test. It is the mark at which someone is considered to have passed the test. Of course, you could use 'pass marks' if you were referring to multiple tests.

"pass mark" is the usual term, as far as I know. E.g. "What's the pass mark for this exam?"
