 Both Tom and Dick get mark of 70 per cent on the examination. Toms 5 point preference brings his rating from 70 per cent to 75 per cent This also places his name above A, B, and c on the list, since if Ia veteran and some non-veterans have the same ratings. the veterans name will be entered on the list ahead of the other names.
 Meanwhile, Dicks mark is raised from 70 per cent to 80 per cent be- cause he has 10 point preference. His names goes to the top of the list. It would go to the top even though there were other non disabled vet erans with ratings of 85 per cent or 90 per cent of better.
