Where an officer, other than of the Medical Corps, is found proficient or deficient in any oral or practical examination, the recorder will indicate that fact by the word Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory" over his signature on the proper exhibit. A similar entry will be made in case of an officer found deficient in any subject on the first examination but proficient on reexamination. In the case of medical officers the percentage made in each numbered subject will be entered on the proper exhibit in lieu of the word Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory." Should the officer be found finally deficient in one or more of the professional subjects (including skill in horsemanship), the record will show the marks given by each member of the board to each answer and practical exercise pertaining to the subject or subjects in which he is deficient and, in addition thereto, a summary of the entire examination, showing the percentage attained in each subject, his general average, and any facts bearing markedly on his general efficiency.
