C. Combination: Combinations of successfully completed post-high school education and experience may be used to meet total qualifications and may be computed by first determining the applicant\'s total qualifying experience as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level; then determining the applicant\'s education as a percentage of the education required for the grade level; and then adding the two percentages.
