MFX substitutions are accepted for MFT 110 and MFT 113 .
- MFT 110 = MFX 170 + MFX 171 + MFX 172 + MFX 173
- MFT 113 = MFX 130 + MFX 131 + MFX 150 + MFX 151
WLX substitutions are accepted for WLD 111 , WLD 112 , and WLD 212 .
- WLD 111 = WLX 112 + WLX 113 + WLX 114 + WLX 115
- WLD 112 = WLX 116 + WLX 117
- WLD 212 = WLX 210 + WLX 211
