(a) Examinations shall be held twice each year at such times and places as the Board determines.
(b) Each examination shall be broken down into three or more parts, each part of equal point value. The passing grade on any examination shall be an average of 75% in all parts combined. In order to determine this average, no part shall be accepted with a grade less than 65% and only one part with a grade less than 75%. An applicant failing one examination may apply for reexamination in the part or parts which he failed. An applicant who received an average grade of less than 50% must be reexamined in all parts and he must pass all those failed parts during any one reexamination. An applicant who fails more than one-third of the examination must be reexamined in all parts. The Board may permit the use of books, tables, graphs, and the like during examinations.
