3. Examinations of persons applying for certificates under this
Article as to their proficiency in the theory of accounts, practical ac-
counting, auditing, commercial law, and principles of economics, shall
be held at least once every year, and be conducted according to such
rules and regulations as the said board of examiners may adopt for the
purpose. The questions propounded at said examinations shall be sub-
mitted to the entire board before being adopted, and shall be certified
by the said board as a reasonable and fair test of the candidate's quali-
fications, and also that said questions are reasonably susceptible of
answer or solution in the time allowed. Each subject shall be marked
separately, and every applicant shall be required to obtain a mark of
seventy-five (75) per cent, in each subject upon which he is examined.
The examination papers shall be preserved for ninety days after each
applicant shall have been informed of his marks, and every person tak-
ing said examination shall be entitled to notice of his mark in each sub-
ject and shall have access to his examination papers during said time
upon application to the board. If any such applicant is a member of
the bar of the State of Maryland in good standing at the time of the
taking of such examination, he shall be deemed to have absolved the
requirements of an examination on the subject of commercial law. If
any applicant shall have failed to pass said examination, but shall have
met the requirements of this article in any three or more of the subjects
aforesaid, he shall be excused from subsequent examination in those
subjects. All persons who shall pass said examinations shall be recom-
mended by the board to the Governor, and to all such persons the Gov-
ernor shall issue the certificate mentioned in the first Section of this
Article. Any candidate who may be declared by the board of examiners
not to have passed said examination may, within thirty days after
receiving notice of his marks, make application to any Court of compe-
tent jurisdiction in the City of Baltimore for a writ of mandamus, and
if said Court after due hearing thereon shall be of the opinion that said
complainant has passed said examination, the Court may issue its writ;
of mandamus directing said board to certify that fact to the Governor;
or, if the Court shall be of the opinion that said examination has not
been so conducted as to constitute a fair test of the candidate's qualifi-
cations by reason of the character of questions asked, or the time allowed
