July 9.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 2727

A candidate who has passed either the first or second section and has gained at least a partial pass in the other of these two sections may receive credit for a pass in the third section if he satisfies all the requirements of the group constituting that section, or may receive credit for a partial pass in the third section if he fails in one subject only of that section, in which case he may complete the section at any time by passing in that subject.

26. A candidate will be regarded as having obtained a partial pass for Class D if at any time he has fulfilled the requirements of the examination for Class D, except in respect of not more than two of the subjects prescribed; provided that any such subjects shall not include either English or Mathematics I. When a candidate has obtained a partial pass for Class D he may at any time complete the examination by taking the deficient subjects and obtaining credit for them either together or separately.

27. Except as otherwise prescribed by these regulations in connexion with records of partial success, no recognition may at any time be given in the examination to less than a complete group of subjects; provided that, in the case of a subject or subjects the examination for which is taken at a different time from the ordinary examination, or is held under special conditions not applicable to the general examination, any such subject may, at the discretion of the Inspector-General of Schools, be at any time credited to a candidate towards the requirements of the examination. In general, the unit of the examination shall be the group, not the individual subjects of the group.
