If a candidate earns 40 on the PFE and 40 on the SKT, does this meet the minimum combined requirement of 90?

If a candidate earns 40 on the PFE and 40 on the SKT, does this meet the minimum combined requirement of 90?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Only if the PFE is counted twice
• D. Only if the SKT is counted twice

Answer: (A)

You must add the two scores to see if they meet the minimum. Here, 40 on PFE plus 40 on SKT equals 80, which is below 90. So the combined requirement isn’t met. To reach 90 or more, the two scores need to add up to at least 90, for example 50 and 40 or 45 and 45. The rule uses the sum of the two scores once; counting one test twice isn’t how it’s evaluated.
