Anonymity of Candidates. To assure anonymity for each competitor in the written test, his/her papers shall be identified by a number until the scoring of the written test is completed. Only after the scoring of the written test is completed shall the identity of the competitors be disclosed. 1452 Inspection of Tentative Key During the period of from one to five working days, as determined by the director, immediately following the day of a written examination, any candidate in the examination may inspect a tentative keyed copy of the examination in the office of the Commission and may request a review of any items that he/she believes to be ambiguously worded, inappropriate for inclusion in the examination, or incorrectly keyed. However, keyed copies of copyrighted or standardized tests, or of examinations being given continuously, or of essay or other questions requiring judgment to correct shall not be available for review. During this inspection period, a candidate may file a written request for review of the items or part of the examination he/she questions, giving his/her reasons and citing authorities to support them. The examination shall not be scored until all of the disputed items have been reviewed and appropriate adjustments, if any, made by correcting the scoring key or eliminating items from the examination. Further requests for review of the written examination shall not be considered. Candidates will be advised at the time of the examination of the period of time available for inspection of the tentative key. 1456 Ratings In order to qualify in an examination, candidates must attain a rating of at least 70% in the subject matter portion and a final rating of at least 70% in the total examination. The Commission may set a minimum qualifying rating for each different subject matter test or for other parts of an examination and candidates failing to achieve such ratings shall be eliminated from participating in the remaining tests or parts of such examination, or if they have already participated, they need not be rated. When in scoring the examination of a candidate, it becomes evident that he/she would receive a rating less than the minimum required to qualify, such candidate shall be eliminated at that point and the scoring of the remaining parts of his/her examination need not be completed. In converting raw scores to percentage ratings, scores below the passing score need not be converted. The Commission may limit the maximum number of qualified persons who shall constitute an eligible list, or who shall be permitted to compete in any of the separately weighted parts of an examination, and such persons shall be those individuals scoring the highest in the total examination or separately weighted part thereof, as the case may be.
