  2. In any case, if the marks assigned to a candidate’s work in the subject of handwriting are less than 33 per cent., and in any other subject are less than 25 per cent. of the maximum assignable in that subject, such marks shall not be included in reckoning the candidate’s aggregate of marks.

  3. The legibility of handwriting and the setting-out of matter will in all cases be taken into account when assigning marks to papers in the various subjects.

STANDARD OF EXAMINATION.

  1. The standard of the Intermediate Examination shall be approximately that of the Public Service Entrance Examination, and the same papers may be set for both examinations.

SCOPE OF EXAMINATION.

  1. The scope and other limiting conditions of the examination in the several subjects shall be in all respects the same as those prescribed in the New Zealand Gazette of the 28th October, 1926, for corresponding subjects of the Public Service Entrance Examination.

PUBLICATION OF RESULTS.

  1. As soon as may be after the examination, the names of candidates who pass the Intermediate Examination shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette. Candidates shall be notified of the result of the examination, and shall be entitled to receive a statement of the marks obtained in the several subjects.

For any other statement of marks obtained or certificate of results furnished to the candidate, a fee of 2s. 6d. shall be payable to the Public Account in the manner specified in clause 3 hereof for the payment of late fees.

C. A. JEFFERY,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
