In the final multiple score (FMS), pass not advanced (PNA) exam points are awarded for a maximum of how many exam cycles?

The final multiple score (FMS) takes into account various factors, including pass not advanced (PNA) exam points. These points are awarded to recognize the efforts of candidates who have taken the exam and not advanced in their current cycle. The maximum number of exam cycles for which PNA points can be awarded is five. This is important for candidates who may have repeated the exam over several cycles, allowing them to accumulate these points and improve their overall competitiveness for advancement.

This system is designed to provide a measure of recognition for those who continually attempt to advance, ensuring that their persistence is reflected in their score. Receiving PNA points from five exam cycles means that candidates have multiple chances to leverage their previous attempts as part of their final score calculation. This policy encourages a culture of continuous improvement and does not penalize those who might need more than one attempt to achieve the required advancement criteria.
