About
Unlike on floor, where the addition of a half turn doesn’t change the turning element, one can get extra value for adding a half turn on beam. The 1.5 turn, however, is quite rare because it’s not valuable enough to be useful (or particularly feasible in a mixed series), so…you’d just do a full turn. Not much point to a 1.5 unless you’re Dutch and just can’t help yourself.

Value
B

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
