Each section is graded separately, and grades are reported to boards of accountancy on a scale ranging from 0 to 99, with a passing grade of 75 for each section. Conditional status may be granted to candidates who receive a passing grade on some but not all sections. The only aids you are allowed to take to the examination tables are pens, pencils, and erasers.
