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.

Part of this exam requires knowledge of business management principles. We offer those study materials on a separate Business and Law web page.
