If you want your exam to be worth 30% of the overall mark it has to be worth 30/65 of Q2. Look at it in terms of points. Q1 is 35 points and Q2 is 65 points. If the exam is worth 30 points in Q2 it will make it 30% overall of Q1 and Q2. This means that the Exam will have a weight of 46% (rounded off) in Q2. That means if you are using category weights you will have 54% left to distribute in Q2.
