Pass Rates
Each section of the exam is passed or failed independently of the other sections. Candidates retain credit for sections passed and are only required to retake failed sections if the jurisdiction has a time limit restriction for completing the exam.
In most jurisdictions, candidates can begin the exam process immediately after graduation.
