In a Course Board theoretical exam, a threshold is applied to the total number of these questions for each course with 10 or more questions and for courses below. The least limit is 50%. In case a grade below 50% is obtained from one or more of the courses constituting the board in the theoretical exam of the Course Board; The difference between the score obtained from that course and 50% of the score in the Course Board exam of the related course is deducted from the total score of the theoretical exam and the exam grade of the student for that course is determined.
