Uninhabited Island Exam



The Uninhabited Island Exam is a comprehensive test that evaluates students' academic, physical, mental, and communication abilities. It is a group-based exam where students from all school years compete against each other.

The exam on the island lasts for two weeks, from July 20 to August 3. The exam takes place on a larger area of the uninhabited island compared to the previous year's exam.

Schedule

 * July 19: Gather at the sports field, travel to the port, and board the ship.


 * July 20: Start of the Special Exam; exam explanation and distribution of supplies.


 * August 3: End of the Special Exam; announcement of rankings on the ship and distribution of rewards.


 * Private points for August will be awarded after the uninhabited island exam.


 * August 4: Free day on the cruise.


 * August 11: Arrival at the port, return to school, and dismissal.

From August 4 to August 11, students can enjoy an eight-day, seven-night summer vacation on the luxury cruise. No Special Exam will take place during this period.

Objectives

 * Groups will compete for two weeks in a survival exam to earn points.
 * If all members of a group retire during the exam, the group will be immediately disqualified.
 * All previously earned points will be invalidated, and the group's ranking will be determined instantly.

Groups

 * Students can form big groups of up to 6 members, comprising students from the same year. While not mandatory, forming a group is advantageous.


 * For approximately four weeks until July 16, students can create small groups of up to 3 members, limited to students within the same grade.
 * 1st Years can form small groups of four while 2nd and 3rd year students can have up to three members.


 * Mixed groups must maintain a girl-to-boy ratio of at least 2:3.
 * The possible combinations for the small groups:

[1 boy] [2 boys] [3 boys]

[1 girl] [2 girls] [3 girls]

[1 boy, 2 girls]


 * Once formed, groups cannot be changed. Apart from the advantages of having more people, special privileges are also afforded to groups with more people.


 * Regardless of dropouts, a group can continue until the last member drops out.


 * During the special exam, small groups can merge to form large groups. This includes two groups of 3, three groups of 2, or six solo participants forming one big group. In big groups with over 4 members, the girl percentage must be at least 50%.


 * Small groups can increase their size by completing required tasks starting from the 4th day. To initiate the group size increase, the rewarded small group must request a ‘Main Link’ with their watch, while the other group initiates a ‘Pair Link’ with their own watch. Both watches must physically contact for ten seconds to complete the link approval process.

Basic Cards

 * 1) Head Start: Multiplies the points usable at the start of the exam by 1.5.
 * 2) Bonus: Doubles the private points received from rewards.
 * 3) Half Off: Reduces the number of private points to be paid in half in case of a penalty (valid for cardholder only).
 * 4) Free Ride: Designate a group at the beginning of the exam and receive half of the designated group's private points as a bonus. Joining the designated group cancels the card's effect.
 * 5) Insurance: Grants one grace day for the cardholder to recover from ill health before elimination (invalid if elimination is due to cheating).

Special Cards

 * 1) More People: Allows the cardholder to join a group as the 7th person, exempt from gender ratio requirements.
 * 2) Nullify: Sets the number of private points to be paid for penalties to 0 (valid for cardholder only).
 * 3) Trial: Increases class points from special exam rewards by 1.5 times, but the group faces penalties if they don't enter the top 30%. Additional class points are provided by the school.
 * Each student receives a random card from the eight available. Card ownership can be checked in the OAA.

Card Rules

 * Basic and Special Cards can be traded within the same year.
 * Trading is not allowed within the same class, and once a card changes owners, it cannot be traded again.
 * Using multiple copies of the same card does not stack effects.
 * Students can hold and use up to 7 cards. The three special cards are randomly distributed, with each school year receiving one of each type. This means a class can have all three special cards.

Basic Movement Rule

 * Four times a day, a new designated area will be announced, except on the first and last day when there are only three areas with no random assignment.


 * The designated time intervals are as follows:
 * 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM
 * 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM
 * 11:00 PM to 3:00 PM
 * 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.


 * The next designated area will be located within two cells horizontally or one cell diagonally from the previous area, three times a day.
 * Once a day, the next designated area will be randomly chosen from all accessible areas on the map. Random selection will never occur consecutively.


 * The first three groups to arrive at a designated area will receive an Early Bird Bonus based on their arrival order: 10 points for the first, 5 points for the second, and 3 points for the third.
 * ※The time in which all members of a group have arrived in the area will be used to determine the ranking of the bonus.


 * Every participant who arrives at the designated area within the time interval will receive an Arrival Bonus of 1 point.
 * If a group is already present at the next designated area when it is selected, they will receive the 1-point Arrival Bonus but will not be eligible for the Early Bird Bonus.


 * Groups will be penalized for failing to arrive at the designated area three times in a row. Points will be deducted based on the consecutive misses. However, once a group breaks the chain of misses, the penalty counter will reset to zero.

Watch

 * The school continuously monitors students' health through provided wristwatches. In case of any physical or digital irregularities detected in the watch, further point acquisition will be disabled, and a checkup will be required.


 * Alerts on the watch notify users of health issues. Warning Alerts can be ignored, but Emergency Alerts mandate a return to the starting area within 24 hours, failure of which may lead to retirement.


 * The watch is pre-programmed with one of twelve different Tables, determining the assigned order of designated areas, which varies for each Table.


 * If an Emergency Alert persists for five minutes without user intervention, a medical team is dispatched immediately for dire emergencies like cardiac arrest or severe blood pressure drop.

Tablet

 * Students receive tablets with a digital map for real-time verification of designated areas and their own location.


 * Tablets provide information on nearby Task locations and rewards.


 * From the fourth to the twelfth day, users can check rankings of top and bottom groups, as well as their own group's points (top ten and bottom ten only).


 * GPS search unlocks on the sixth day, allowing users to locate other students by spending 1 point per search.


 * Tablets display school notifications for exam-wide issues.


 * Batteries can be recharged at the starting area or designated locations, with an estimated eight hours of continuous usage.

Tasks

 * Tasks may appear at any from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, starting at 10:00 AM on the first day and ending at 3:00 PM on the final day.


 * Tasks are divided into three main categories: 40% Academic Ability, 30% Physical Ability, and 30% Other.


 * To obtain Task information, groups must physically visit the Task location as timing of a particular task is unpredictable.


 * Successful participants in Tasks can earn points, provisions, or ability to increase their group's maximum size.


 * Tasks to increase group size reward first place with 3 spots, second place with 2 spots, and third place with 1 spot. They will start to appear from the 4th day of the exam.


 * Groups at maximum capacity of six persons cannot register for tasks to increase their size.

Rewards

 * First Place: 300 Class Points, 1 million Private Points, 1 Protection Point.
 * Second Place: 200 Class Points, 500,000 Private Points.
 * Third Place: 100 Class Points, 250,000 Private Points.
 * Groups within top 50% (including groups placed 1st to 3rd): 50,000 Private Points.
 * Groups within top 70% (including groups placed 1st to 3rd): 10,000 Private Points.


 * Class Points rewards for the top three groups will be deducted from the class years of the bottom three groups.


 * Class Points are distributed equally among classes. If a group of a single class gets first place, the rewards are given entirely to that class. If a group has students from all four classes and gets first place, the rewards are divided equally among the four classes.

Penalties

 * Top three groups receive a total reward of 600 class points, evenly collected from all the classes from the bottom three placed groups.


 * If top and bottom groups are from the same year, last-placed classes pay 100 points each to top classes, second-to-last pay 66 points each, and third-to-last pay 33 points each.


 * If a group with a mix of four classes finishes last, the number of class points taken is reduced to 75, 50, and 25 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd last places.


 * Students from the bottom 5 groups will be expelled.


 * Groups facing the exam penalty can avoid expulsion by paying a total of 6 million private points, divided evenly among its group members.


 * Once the exam starts, students cannot borrow or lend points to each other. Therefore, students must gather the required number of points beforehand to avoid expulsion.
