Partner Exam

It is a special Exam where second-years partnered with the first-years for a written test where failing to attain a certain threshold incurs penalties for both the students.

This special exam focuses on the test-taking and communication skills of second year students. This special exam is focuses on building cooperative relationships between students of a different year. You have two weeks to chose your partner from the first-year students before the test that takes place at the end of the April.

Overview

 * On the day of the exam, students will be tested on five subjects where each subject will be worth 100 points, for a total of 500 points.


 * In the event that a pair's combined score fails to exceed 500 points, the second-year student will be expelled from the school and the first-year student will not receive any private points for the next three months, regardless of how many class points their class might have.


 * Additionally, any student judged to have deliberately marked questions incorrectly or otherwise found to have manipulated or lowered their scores will be expelled regardless of their school year.


 * Similarly, in the event a third party is found to have forced a student to lower his or her score, said third party will be expelled from the school as well.


 * Possible points that can be scored based on Academic Ability rating:

"E Rating – Between 150 and 200 Points""D Rating – Between 200 and 250 Points""C Rating – Between 250 and 300 Points""B Rating – Around 350 Points""A Rating – Around 400 Points"

Rewards
The evaluations would be based on two different standards:


 * As a Class (Split Based on School Year)


 * As an Individual

Class Rewards

 * The inter-class competition will be based on the average score of each class in your school year. This will be derived from the combined scores of each person in the class added together with their respective partners.


 * Each class will be rewarded with either 50, 30, 10, or 0 class points, based on how their overall average score compares to the other classes in their school year.

Individual Rewards

 * You will be graded based on the combined score of you and your partner.


 * The top five pairings will each receive a special reward of 100,000 private points.


 * The top 30% of pairings will each receive 10,000 private points.

Rules and Regulations for Choosing a Partner

 * Once per day, students are allowed to send a partnership application to a prospective student through OAA. (If the other party does not accept, the application will be reset after 24 hours.)


 * If the other party accepts your application, the partnership will be finalized and you won't be allowed to cancel it thereafter.

※ The only exceptions being extenuating, unavoidable circumstances such as expulsion or serious illness.


 * Once a partnership has been finalized, the information displayed on the OAA app will be updated at 8:00 AM the next morning and no new applications to either student will be accepted.

※ The details about who a person has chosen to partner up with won’t be listed on their profile.

Penalties

 * In the event that a second year student can't form a pair up with anybody, a partner will be randomly selected for them at 8:00 AM on the day of the exam. But those students with a pair formed after the deadline would incur a 5% penalty to their overall score.


 * The three leftover first year students will have their exam scores doubled to make up for their missing partner but would incur a similar 5% penalty on their score.
 * In the event that a pair's combined score fails to exceed 500 points, the second-year student will be expelled from the school and the first-year student will not receive any private points for the next three months, regardless of how many class points their class might have.


 * Additionally, any student judged to have deliberately marked questions incorrectly or otherwise found to have manipulated or lowered their scores will be expelled regardless of their school year.
