It's simple. If you're interested in increasing your rank in Kedanya, this is the place to come. Completing the Academy Test does not mean that your rank will increment, but that the speed at which you gain rank will increase. It's well worth it.

What are the Rules?
Test Contents
Each test consists of ten questions on Kedanya and ten questions on Decipher and STCCG, randomly chosen and shuffled from a selection of many. Grading is simple - one point for a correct answer, zero for a wrong one, and half points are possible. For Civilians, there are 20 questions about Kedanya instead of the standard 10 Ked/10 Dec setup.
