Where the handbook contradicts itself
We list these instead of quietly picking one. If a number above is affected, confirm with the exam vendor before test day.
- SalespersonPassing listed both as 70% and raw score 80 of 115; 70% of 115 = 80.5, so the two figures do not match exactly. Recorded raw 80 (also 70 percent).
- SalespersonRetake rule not stated; single exam with single score implies whole-exam retake (inferred).
- BrokerPassing 75% / raw 90 of 120 points (consistent).
- BrokerRetake rule not stated; inferred whole exam.
