  "text": "1..A competent authority must organise a compulsory written examination which they may supplement with an optional oral examination to establish whether applicant road transport operators have achieved the required level of knowledge in the subjects listed in Part I and in particular their capacity to use the instruments and techniques relating to those subjects and to fulfil the corresponding executive and coordination duties.\n(a)The compulsory written examination will involve two tests, namely:\n(i)written questions consisting of either multiple choice questions (each with four possible answers), questions requiring direct answers or a combination of both systems;\n(ii)written exercises/case studies.\nThe minimum duration of each test will be two hours.\n(b)Where an oral examination is organised, a competent authority may stipulate that participation is subject to the successful completion of the written examination.\n2..Where a competent authority also organises an oral examination, they must provide, in respect of each of the three tests, for a weighting of marks of a minimum of 25 % and a maximum of 40 % of the total number of marks to be given.\nWhere a competent authority organises only a written examination, they must provide, in respect of each test, for a weighting of marks of a minimum of 40 % and a maximum of 60 % of the total number of marks to be given.\n3..With regard to all the tests, applicants must obtain an average of at least 60 % of the total number of marks to be given, achieving in any given test not less than 50 % of the total number of marks possible. In one test only, a competent authority may reduce that mark from 50 % to 40 %.",
