The number of answers required to pass any given examination
form will vary from one form to another, based on the difficulty of the questions. If the
questions selected for one examination form are more difficult, fewer questions are required to
be answered correctly to pass that examination form. For example, a candidate may be required
to answer 68% of the questions correctly to pass a more difficult examination form. To pass
a less difficult examination form, correct answers for 72% of the questions may be required.
