A candidate for the Alabama real estate licensing exam scores 69 out of 100 on the National portion and 29 out of 40 on the State portion. Which statement correctly describes the candidate's exam result under Alabama passing standards?

Correct Answer

A) The candidate fails the National portion but passes the State portion, and must retake only the National portion

Alabama's PSI-administered exam requires separate passing scores on each portion: a minimum of 70 correct answers out of 100 on the National portion and a minimum of 28 correct answers out of 40 on the State portion. The candidate scored 69 on the National portion (one point below the required 70) and 29 on the State portion (which exceeds the required 28). Therefore, the candidate passes the State portion but fails the National portion and must retake only the failed portion.

Answer Options
A
The candidate fails the National portion but passes the State portion, and must retake only the National portion
B
The candidate passes both portions because the combined total score of 98 out of 140 exceeds the minimum passing threshold
C
The candidate fails both portions because Alabama requires a minimum score of 70 on each portion independently
D
The candidate passes both portions because 69% on the National portion rounds up to 70%
