1. (a) For a score to be valid and remain valid:

   1. (1) the examinee must complete the answer sheet, or otherwise record the answers, as instructed by the examiner; and
   2. (2) if performance skills are required as a part of the examination, the examinee must demonstrate performance skill objectives in a manner consistent with performance evaluation forms provided by the commission. Passage of a performance skill requires successful completion of all mandatory tasks and accumulation of the number of points required for passage on each individual performance evaluation form.
2. (b) The minimum passing score on each written examination shall be 70%. This means that 70% of the total possible valid questions must be answered correctly. The commission may, at its discretion, invalidate any question.
3. (c) If the commission invalidates an examination score for any reason, it may also, at the discretion of the commission and for good cause shown, require a retest to obtain a substitute valid test score.
