Exams? Yes exams! They aren't mandatory, you do not need to participate in the exams, however they will help you earn credits. Currently we're holding exams during the following (six) months:
-June
-August
-October
-December
-February
-April
Sign-ups begin the first day of the following month and last through that month and the fifth of the next month. (ie. sign-ups for april exams go from March 1st through April 5th.)
In order for the exams to take place, at least one person must have signed up and there must be at least three crew signed-up to grade the exams. Crew who are grading can take the exam, on the condition that there is at least one other crew member not taking the exam signed-up for grading.

EXAM RULES:
1.) Exams start of the fifth of the given exam month and last through the last day of the month.
2.) You have five posts in which to knock-out or destroy/kill the monster in the assigned area.
3.) The crew uses random draw to pick the area, they set up the exam thread as well. YOU CAN NOT PICK YOUR OWN AREA! You can pick the monster you fight though but it must match the area (ie. no fire monsters in an underwater arena)
4.) Crew who are taking the exam cannot grade their own exams, nor can a crew member taking the exam grade another crew member also taking the exam's exam.
5.) In the exam thread, you will be role-playing a fight scene not taking a written test.

Exam grades to credit conversions:
(note: these are also located in the rules thread)
0-50 credits- Major school event.
50 credits- Monthly exam, 100.
45 credits- Monthly exam, 91-99.
40 credits- Monthly exam, 81-90.
35 credits- Monthly exam, 71-80.
30 credits- Monthly exam, 60-70.
15 credits- Monthly exam, ≥59
0 credits- Monthly exam, not begun.


You will be graded on:
-Grammar errors.
-Illustration. (No, not pictures! The description of the creature, the area and what happens etc.)
-The Speed of the posts. (If you jump right into battle or not)
-Post lengths.
-Number of posts. (points will be taken off for posting more then five times)
-Use of surroundings.

In the post below this one is a list of areas and corresponding numbers, as well as different exam types and brief descriptions of everything as well as an example of a relatively good exam below that.

Different Exams:
There are three different levels of exams, freshmen and sophomore level exams, junior level exams, and senior level exams. Freshmen/Sophomore exams are the least dangerous and have a large variety of different areas.
Junior exams are a bit tougher with a few different areas and tougher, meaner monsters.
Senior level exams are the hardest of the exams with a few very dangerous areas, extremely powerful creatures and a small survival percentage.
In order to take a junior or senior level exam you must be in that grade (credit wise), and must specify that you wish to take junior or senior in your sign-up. If you do not, but still sign-up, you'll be taking a freshmen/sophomore exam. Automatically for taking and completing the junior level exam, you'll receive twenty credits- before grading. With the senior exam its the same, only thirty credits before grading. However, you'll be graded harsher.

Areas:
Freshmen/Sophomore Exam Areas:
-1. Drystan's Portal: an indescribable place with air heavy with magic. You're inside the portal itself.
-2. The Abyss: a dark and gloomy area with walls and floors of ebony stone and a lot of dark magic energy. The area is black as pitch, and the air is thick like oil.
-3. Forest: light streams down here, earthly energy is abound.
-4. Hot Ground: the ground is cracked with heat pouring up from it in large drafts, fire is everywhere as is steam. Heat and fire linked magic energy is found around here.
-5. Dread Captains Ship: your average flying ship deck, beware of high gusts of wind. Wind linked magic energy can be found here.
-6. Teir's Cliffs: you'll likely arrive to find yourself clinging to the shear drop of Teir's Cliffs, hanging over the sea nearly a hundred feet below. Earth and water magic work well here, as does air.
-7. The Maze: a hedge maze, your in the center right now.
-8. Fern's Lagoon: water is abundant here, and it stretches as far as the eye can see. Beware of drop-offs and deep water.
