What, on our forum, makes a Blue a Blue? We decided that, based on the score they made on their exam, they would be in the Blue dorm. However, what if a member of the Blue dorm is to step away from the game for some number of months, and they return to still be in the Blue dorm with limited knowledge? The fact of the matter is, this situation has occurred with a large number of Blues, as well as Reds having become capable of being Blues. It’s not so common, but it has happened in the past.

I think that it should be a requirement that, before every major time skip, all people who have been ranked since the prior time skip should have to take a mandatory Assessment Exam to determine the current skill of the player. This will not only allow us to keep our dorms moderately realistic, but it can also make for interesting sub-plots, and perhaps even a potential plotline all its own, once a year. While this may be a bit of a hassle for the staff, and the people grading exams, I think that it would provide for a more realistic experience.

There is an Advancement Exam available for non-Blue characters to rank up to Blue. As for Blues who have fallen out of step with the game, we might be able to implement this.

I leave that decision up to the Blues whether they want this retest implemented. I am quite glad a Blue finally suggested this though.

Making the Exam Questions public knowledge defeats the purpose of having an Exam at all <_<

Letting us know that you're changing the exam would be nice. Maybe some of us would've been interested in helping.
