| 考試得分必須符合以下兩個條件，方會被評為合格：1) 總分必須達到合格分數，2) 各單項得分必須分別達到各項的基準分數。如果各單項得分中有一項沒有達到基準分數，那麼，無論總分多高都不能評為合格。 另外，考生若缺席或早退任何一部份考試，所有試卷(包括出席部份)均不會獲得評分，亦會被評為不合格。 |

| In order to pass, (1) total score needs to be at or above the point required for passing (overall pass mark) and (2) score in each scoring section needs to be at or above the minimum point required for passing (sectional pass mark). If there is even one scoring section where the score is below the sectional pass mark, examinees are determined to have failed, no matter how high the total score he/she might have. Examinees will be judged to have failed if they miss a test section. Although they will receive a Score Report, it will not show scores for any test section, including those that have been taken. |
