Your result comes through as either 'achieved' or 'not achieved'.

That's all!

[JayCho]

is there a certain percentage needed to pass?

No you just need to show competance in Both section 1 and section 2. :thumbup1:

Don't worry if things don't balance either. Someone I know has got all the way to Technician level without having one trial balance/ balance sheet balance! Also remember there is no 'negative marking' i.e. they don't take marks off. If you make an error and then have to rework everything becuase they only mark you down once - for the original error and not for everything after that. Competence appears to be around the 60% - 65% level but I can't confirm this for certain.
