(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.
