Before any application for an Examination can be approved, the Syndicate must be satisfied as to the following points :

4. No Certificate will be granted to any Candidate who has not passed in group A and also in one of groups B, C, D and E.

If a Candidate specially distinguishes herself in particular parts of the Examination, the fact will be notified by endorsement on her Certificate. After each Examination notice of the result will be sent to the home of each Candidate.

6. A Candidate who passes in group A, but not in the further subjects necessary for obtaining a Certificate, need not be examined in the papers in that group in any future year in which she may go in to the Examination for the purpose of obtaining her Certificate.

7. No Candidate will be examined in more subjects than the subjoined Time-table will allow.

After passing in group A, Candidates may be examined in other groups in subsequent years. They may also be examined a second time in any group, subject to the special regulations of that group.

A schedule of books recommended by the Syndicate is appended to each group. But it is to be understood that such schedules are not intended to limit the studies of the Candidates or the range of questions in the papers set by the Examiners.
