SECTION 439.9. Grading

(a) If performance skills are required as a part of the examination, the examinee must demonstrate performance skill objectives in a manner consistent with performance skill evaluation forms provided by the Commission. The evaluation format for a particular performance skill will determine the requirements for passage of the skill. Each performance skill evaluation form will require successful completion of one of the following formats:

(1) all mandatory tasks; or

(2) an accumulation of points to obtain a passing score as indicated on the skill sheet; or

(3) a combination of both paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection.

(b) The minimum passing score on each written examination or section thereof shall be 70%. This means that 70% of the total possible active questions must be answered correctly. The commission may, at its discretion, invalidate any question.

(c) If the commission invalidates an examination score for any reason, it may also, at the discretion of the commission, require a retest to obtain a substitute valid test score.
